Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I need to get a new car, but the thought of going through the process of actually shopping for one keeps stopping me.
Tim's car is comically old (not in the Classic Car sense), so the plan is to get another car from this century that I would drive (because my commute is longer) and he would take the Echo. But I *so* don't want to car shop right now.
I wonder if they have task rabbits for that.
Oh look, you can get a used Tesla Roadster convertible for not much more than $100,000: [link]
Order it! I want to know what this Spanish sauce that you speak of is.
The pizza pub near me has something called "white ketchup" on some of their pizzas. We finally had to ask and it is basically just Ranch. Why not call it Ranch? It has a name for a reason!
When I inherited my mom's convertable (not a hybrid or anything) I was sure I'd trade it in within the first year, but we are coming up on 4 years now and I'm still happy with it. To the point where I'm considering another convertable when I eventually get a newer car.
I think my dad did all his last car buying via email on the advice of someone saying it was the easiest way to get the best deal.
So maybe just go for a bunch of test drives, tell all the sales people you don't like anything. Then do research on what you did like, find a price you can live with and email in your offer.
And all this car talk reminded me that it is about time to read up on my favorite about.com writer [link]
I guy I work with just bought a Tesla.
Jen,
I was not that brave but thank you for having gusto on my behalf.
Lee,
I was very happy with my Internet only car buying experiences - which helps if you have already taken a test drive (or better yet start the negotiations online then test drive).
The "white ketchup" is. a. SCREAM.
Hopefully I'll be driving my current car another 4-5 years until I can get out from under more debt, but I'm thinking I might buy a Mini Cooper the next time around. My only reservation is that I've had plenty of firsthand experience with how durable and safe Chevy's compact models are.
