I know, it's early.

I am picking up the new car today. I will post pictures at some point, but I don't get there till 3, and then there's all the fun paper work and required driving it around showing it off to the fam. All I'll say is that someone guessed correctly on the other thread.

So then you didn't pick it up yesterday like you said you would?

Any chance you will leave auto tranny troubles behind and went with a stick?

Does it come with a sticker with the colors of the italian flag on it like many of the cars around here?

I said I was shopping yesterday. Never said I'd be picking it up. They have to prep the car afterall.

I did indeed make the switch. And I think I gave the salesman a good scare during the test drive. It's going to take a while to get used to that whole rolling backwards thing.

Watch it mister! I do have one of those stickers and I think I'll put it on just to spite you!

Well at least that's one step in the right direction.
Sadly it rules out the hummer.

You weren't trying to snooker the dealership were you

Now you're the only brown one Jason..!


Religion is like a huge dog. If it's yours it's very friendly and comforting, but it scares the heck out of everyone else.
