tomorrow...

Tomorrow, if all goes as planned, my parents will meet me at the dealership to pick up my new car. I will need to remember to get all of my stuff out of the Grand AM. The new car is a silver 2008 Saturn Aura. I'll post a picture of it once I pick it up.
Honestly, I didn't do much in the way of choosing the car, the dealership helped point out this one because they knew that I had to put the old car loan together with the new loan and they could give us a decent discount on this car because it had been on their lot for 2 months without selling.
I plan to take my camera with me tomorrow so I can get a few pictures of my Grand AM.... I really liked that car and I will miss having it. The new one will feel like it's not really mine for a while. I didn't mind when I got rid of the car I had before the Grand AM because it had been going downhill and things weren't working right and we took our time and shopped around for a car... this time we kind of had to make the call to buy a new car where we had the current one towed for service to avoid additional fees and my car didn't really have any problems. It was working just fine and nothing seems wrong then suddenly it just won't start.
Even though it's not nearly as emotoinal I guess I could compare the experiences this way... with my older car, it was like a person who was sick and old and you knew they would pass on in time and you were mentally prepared for it. With the Grand AM, it's like when someone dies unexpectedly, I was not prepared for it and I still need to feel a sort of closure. I will never know what was wrong with it. I will just have to move on and get used to the new car.

FA+

All is good and I got the new car and gave mom back her minivan. Now sometime in the future it will quit feeling like a 'rental car' and start feeling like it's mine.
I will have to bring the new one over to show you sometime. I'll take some pictures and post one on FA soon.
Halo today. Jon works (I think) morning on Monday and is off again Tuesday.
