Goodnight Sweet Isuzu. And Flights of Angels Sing Thee To Thy Rest
Raise your hand if you traded in your old car and got a new one today.
You can't see me but I'm having to type with one hand right now. Cos, the other one's in the air!
That's right, after six wonderful years, me and the Rodeo had to part ways today. She was my first car and I'll never forget her. I guess we had just out grown each other. She had grown old and tired and made me question if she even wanted to go out for drives anymore. I had grown up and realized I didn't have quite enough "grown up" bills. So it was time. Some of you may remember her and have some memories with her too. Maybe you even broke into her and stole her cd player. No matter. Vio con Dios, Rodeo.
So you may be asking your computer screen (silly) what did you trade her in for? Magick beans?
No, no. I've learnt my lesson with the magical, if somewhat musical, fruit. I found a used Ford Focus at a local dealer. Nice. Clean. Low mileage. 2002. They knocked over $1000 off the sticker price. I drove her around. We meshed. She has a 6 Disc In Dash CD changer. Now to find 6 cds that aren't already in my mp3 player...(answer: there are 2 and I just bought them). She's silver. Got keyless entry/trunk release. Cloth interior. Power windows, mirrors, locks...blah blah. Point is she's great. The salesperson I had was great. The financing went very smoothly and was reasonable. (If you need a used car dealer/salesperson in the DFW area let me know I'll be happy to refer a great one).
Oh and uh, here's a picture:
I'll have to try and scrounge up some pics of the Rodeo or something. Doesn't seem right to not get some pics of her up here too.
I guess that's about it for the update now. We're having the annual fish fry up here at work tonight so I am so about to get my hushpuppy on!
***I hope you that now live so far away realize what this means...................R O A D T R I P

Woo Hoo!! Congrats on the new car. That's really exciting!
I hope Colorado is far enough away to justify being one of your roadtrip destinations, 'cause I want to see your new wheels... oh and it'd be cool to hang out again too.
Yeah for you and your new ride!

well yours is a fine american automobile built to last so no need to grow up until you or it is ready.
my isuzu was like a parent eager for empty nest, pushing me out the door and into adulthood.

i feel so special to have my first spam comment. i almost didn't delete it. and by almost didn't i mean immediately did. it was just sooooo long. it was like an email. of a transcript. of an infomercial. all i ask is that if you are going to leave a ridiculous stock tip spam comment at least make it compact. who was going to read all that anyway?!
