Bought a New Car

[amberfocus]

Well, we finally settled on and bought a new car today.  This is the first new car we've ever owned.  We've always bought used before and the only reason we bought this one new is because it holds it value so well that two year old cars are selling for close to the same as new ones are today.  We bought a Toyota Matrix in Blue Streak Metallic.

It's at the bottom of the screen.  Isn't it pretty?  Well, the color doesn't show up quite as true to life as it should, it's a bit darker and bolder.  It was a very long day spent at the dealership and it took forever but we are very happy with our purchase and it was a nice drive home in it.  Needless to say I didn't spend any time at the computer today, but tomorrow I will spend the whole day writing so if all goes well there will finally be a new chapter of Hunger Moon for all of you who have waited so patiently.  I am starting to feel better, just wish I could shake this off completely.  Another couple of days and I'm sure it'll be gone.  It'll be nice to feel well again, I can tell you that.

I wish I lived in such a place where I didn't need a car. But we are so far outside the city it's just not practical. They are very expensive.

supposedly, living in Los Angeles one NEEDS a car, but really, I don't think it's all that necessary. I mean, there are buses and trains that take you to all the great touristy places, and you don't have to worry about driving. The only thing really is time. When certain buses stop running at 8 or 9, you have to pick and choose what you do. so that's the only thing that really sucks.

I think that by the time I'm ready to start a family (and maybe move outside the city some) I will get a car.
