I bought a new car last night. My lease was almost up and I was over my mileage so I decided it was time. The process was stressful for me. I am the worst at making decisions so actually deciding what car I liked what the worst part. I drove around for months with my eyes on other peoples cars. Finally, I narrowed it down to Nissan ( the brand in general), Toyota Corollas and Jettas ( which would make it my 4Th jetta). So from there I went and test drove cars on Wednesday. I asked to leave work an hour early that day because I was very anxious and I knew Steven ( Ashlynn's sperm donor) would only be able to keep her for a couple hours at his work. I started at Nissan first. I got this sales man who had only been there 7 days and had no idea what he was doing and not very much about the product. I worked in the car business from 2005-2007 at several dealerships and Ashlynn's dad was in the business for much longer. Needless to say this was annoying but I tried to be understanding of this "green pea" as the car world would call him. We test drove a Sentra, YUCK! Then we drove a used Altima which was nice but I knew Bailey ( my best friend) would kill me because it was the exact car she was looking for, which now she is going to test drive since I didn't like it. After that I went to VW where I bought my 07 Jetta. I loved that car. It was the exact car from that movie Knocked up. Red with Tan leather interior. Anyways, I looked around but they didn't have crap in their used vehicle section and I wasn't getting talked into a brand new vehicle. After I left there I snuck across the street to Toyota. That is where I found Black Magic. My new car was right there. I drove it and loved it and then came the stress. I talked numbers with them but knew I wasn't going to buy it that night from them. The next day I stressed, working numbers, all day. I called Steven at least 6 times asking advice and not getting much back. I thought I had it figured out and told Steven what my decision was. This is where he finally stepped in. I went to VW, they brought the car over there and bought the car from Steve's long time friend Farris. It's nice knowing your not getting completely raped from the dealership. I know they made some money on me, it's bound to happen, but its much better than buying from someone you do not know or trust.
Ashlynn loves that car. She calls it "Mommy's Black". The car is black but a weird shade of black. It is almost like a charcoal grey but is black with sparkles in it. My friend Anthony asked me today what I am going to name my car. I tried to think of something clever but I couldn't think of anything smart ass to say, which is rare. I text him back black magic, the named color of my car, black for short. OH! I forgot to mention one more thing. It's stick shift :)
