This is my new car.  She doesn’t have a name yet.  She is a Toyota Matrix S.  She has fancy tinted windows, a sunroof, power everything and good stereo. She is, by far and away, the nicest car I have ever owned.

I have been working insane, ridiculous, crazy hours at my new job as result of the aftermath of the floods.  It’s slowly getting under control, but I don’t know when I will come up for air socially again.  I actually conducted most of my new car purchase by email and phone.  It turns out that if you are very busy, you can just call the dealership and tell them you are very busy but want to give them money, and they will bring cars to your work to test drive and do as much paperwork as they can without you.  It’s awesome.  A good tip from my mom for all of you!  You don’t even have to be busy to use this tactic, just lazy!
