We're still car shopping. Yes I posted that we bought one a few days ago and we did. Unfortunately we are still waiting on the idiotic dealer to bring the title. Which makes me a little more than slightly frustrated. The plan was to buy 2 cars anyway now that I'm working.
So today went like this.. We found this car.. it's BEAUTIFUL!! First it's PURPLE!!! Which as most of you know scores BIG points with me, I only wish they made more pink cars.. Anyway it's also a convertible!!! It's also priced well within our price range. So I'm thinking purple Firebird, convertible and priced great, how much better does it get. Well, then we decide to test drive it... Yep you guess it.. smells like a lemon to me! The car died twice before we got it out of the parking lot! The back seat belt was broke, the window and door locks didn't work... oh wait I take that back when they were messing with it after we got back from driving it the door locks worked.. worked so good they locked the keys in the car!
Second car. It's a 1997 Chevy Malibu. Cute 4 door car. No damage of any kind. Not many miles.. Priced even cheaper than the last car. Only problem I see up front with this car is that it's white. Now don't get me wrong I love white cars but Jacob has this thing with them. Him and my brother Scott have what we call "White Car Syndrome" They can't drive one without it breaking down. So we test drive it. It runs pretty good. For some reason when you let off the gas the RPM's do something weird. Jacob looked it up and doesn't think that it's a major problem. He's going to ask our mechanic about it. I still think it's probably a really good car. I'm just a little worried.
None of the other lots had anything. Well I'm sure Wehr had some but I REFUSE to buy a car from them. I'd tell you all why but it might end up being a pretty good case of slander. That and to list all of the reasons I'd still be typing this time tomorrow.
Looked at a couple cars for sell in Wal*Mart parking lot. Called about 2 but no one answered.
In better news I went to a yard sale today, Yes on Monday, and I got several Wilton candy and sucker molds for FREE!! How cool is that?? Some really cool ones too like Batman and Ninja Turtles!

Good luck on the car hunting. A person never runs across a 'deal' when they are trying too hard.

Too bad about the purple car. But maybe you can just go ahead and get the white one and paint it pink. That sounds reasonable, right?
I sure hope you find a good car. I always worry when buying a used one(and of course thats all we can afford) that it will be a lemon. I just always think if they are getting rid of it there must be something wrong with it. Of course we always keep ours till they fall apart..lol..anyway good luck..
oh yeah, love Connors castle..also, wheres the box of free stuff I wanted to look through? Did you run away with it? LOL!!
