Default my car is dead

it took me 3 hours to get home today by bus. simply ludicrous.

this naturally means im in the market for a new car. not just another car. a new one.

what do you all suggest. something inexpensive, gas efficient with enough space to lug a drumset around.

the hyundai tucson is smaller (and cheaper) though, so that might be better for the budget and the gas mileage, but you can still fit a drum set

I needed a random thread to gloat in. sorry:
So, my seduction of my romantic interest is going much better then expected.
I initiated the contact with the text message on Sunday. My plan was to briefly say hi, and then wait it out a few days, till Wednesday at least, before sending anything. Heighten any potential anticipation, you know?

However, things worked out nicely, because although I made the choice to keep it all smooth and suave and wait a few days, she got back to me instead inviting me out for a few drinks, or a smoke. However, my phone was dead, but that’s irrelevant right now.

And then we started chatting about other fun things, like Snakes on a Plane, which is beign released here. I went to watch Lady in the Water last night with friends, so I asked her if she’d like to join us. She said she had already been asked to visit another friend, but said she was thinking we should rather go watch snakes on a plane together.

So, it’s Wednesday now, and instead of sending the second message, I have a date lined up for SNAKES on a PLANE with the girl I’ve referred to as my ‘ideal’ for a while now.

How cool is that?

Heyup.

because repairing it would cost more than it's worth.

this is called 'being totaled'
