Thanks to the most awesome roomate in all of God's creation. I am now the proud owner of a 2006 Mazda 6I sedan. Far better fuel mileage than my prior ride, and with more bells, and whistles than I can shake a stick at. I am lucky, the Mazda only had one owner, and it has only 50k miles on it. I got raped on the interest rate (no thanks to some crap that killed my credit a few years back), but I got a good deal on the car, and my trade-in. It will save me more than enough in gas, to offset the costs, so I has a serious happy right now. I still need to find a second job so that I can eat more than just cereal, and spaghetti, but this will go a long way to getting my life back in the black.
