Today is a sad day. I retired my first car for good. The little black Ford Probe is no more.

It was the first car that was truly mine, and the only one with a manual transmission (O how I miss thee!). I spent countless freshman and sophomore hours curled in its back seat when I was too tired to drive home from school, from the bar, from a friend' ( Read more... )

Aggh, what a week. My mom made an effort to drive in from out of state for my birthday, so I felt obligated to likewise make the pilgrimage to the family house. That was Sunday.

I've never liked used car salesmen. They've always seemed every bit as shifty as their comic-strip caricatures. Like, there was the time I bought my first used car and the dealership shut down one week later. (I'm sure it was a totally legit operation.) But this just takes the cake...

I bought my current vehicle about a month and a half ago. I say ( Read more... )
