The Overfiend Express has reached the end of the line

Sad but true, the time has come to replace the Overfiend Express. After spending about a grand over the past month or so on repairs, I've decided it's no longer worth keeping the ol' tentacle demon running (since the mechanic said I'll probably have a bunch of other things that are going to go in the next few months too, although it'll last long

Has it already been 8 years? Damn, I remember when that car was brand new. Sorry that it finally needed to be retired. I enjoyed riding in it on many occasions - listening to Japan Break Industries, J-Pop, or the Street Fighter 2 Tribute Album along the way. Ah, memories...

Well, almost 8 years. I got the car in September 2003. But yeah, time has flown with that car and I'll miss those memories as well...

That said, I've already selected its replacement courtesy of finding a really good deal due to the combined Presidents'/Valentines' Day sale this dealer was having. All that's left is the final paperwork and prep. I'm not looking forward to a new car payment every month, but the repair bills on the Overfiend Express were actually higher than the monthly car payment on its replacement.

Ah, that's good at least that you were able to already find a replacement for it and get a good deal on it. To say that I hate car buying would be a huge understatement.

Yeah... it's not the most pleasant experience... but I'll say the new car is at least as pimp as the Overfiend Express. Still need a name for it though ("My Cresta!" hehe).
