Car Shopping

Ok so for this weeks FFY we have to rewind just a bit to last week… well wait hold on it starts a little bit before that but either way here we go… so while driving back and forth to work I notice that Dimitri is over heating a lot, but I cant tell if it is actually happening or if it is the gauge or something so I kind of ignore it. (duh that's what you do to problems) so anyways I final bring it into the shop after dad tells me that when I notice this happening to get out and feel the radiator and see if it is hot or cold... Pretty simple I can do that. So after driving my 45 minute commute to Plymouth I get out while the car is running and feel the radiator… its ice cold… strange the gauge said it should be on fire right now. So the next day I took it into the garage to check out to see if I need a new radiator or what. Well what does it figure that my problem is the "or what"… which translates into a blown (or about to blow head gasket) which is pretty damn expensive and for the year of the car it's not worth it, so the garage tells me to junk it. Any who knows me knows that I will never just junk a perfectly running car especially not in the summer! It's freaking demo season! So I just got my self a good running derby car, SWEET!

Now the only problem is I need to find a new car…. I hate car shopping. It sucks you can never find what you really want and you always settle fro something that you can just "deal" with. And of course it happens in the beginning of summer when I have no money. So now for the past three weeks I have been driving mom's car to work and not spending any money except to put gas in the car to get me to work. Well I found a car that I really want. It's a '95 Pontiac Grand Am, two doors, duel exhaust, black with a sun roof and only 121,000 miles. Hey that is pretty sweet! The only problem is that the junk yard that is selling it is trying to get a new title for it so it's going to be a while before they can actually sell it. So I have left many messages and stopped in every other day or so to check up on the status of the title process, and they said that it should be about $750 - $800 and that's not really that bad and ill have that by next week or so. So I haven't heard back from then yet but I found out that there is another guy interested in it as well but I think he wants it for parts or something cause he was already driving a grand am, and that would suck cause it's a real nice car to part it out would be a shame. So I am hopelessly set on getting this car because it is what I really wanted last time I was car shopping and now I found it and it is within my grasp. But I really just want to say FUCK YOU to the whole car shopping process, it sucks and I hate it and a possible future FUCK YOU to the person that buys the Grand Am before I can.
