So, the week­end has been up and down… Here's an attempt to re-live the rollercoaster:

Sat­ur­day

Megan came to pick me up at about 1pm, after her hockey game (which she won, by the way!). And then we were off to Gree­ley. On the way there, I called the guy at KIA and he kept jerk­ing me around, say­ing: "Sure, come down and we'll work on something."

Right.

Any­way, so we went over to JD Byrider and checked out their selec­tion (at the request of my par­ents). Lo and behold, there was the same pur­ple Chevy Cave­lier that we saw in Fort Collins!

So we looked around, and I didn't see any­thing that I really liked. Megan pointed out a newer Honda Civic, but I passed it off because it was red (not my favorite color).

We thought there was another JD Byrider deal­er­ship in Gree­ley, so we went to find that — only to find out that the deal­er­ship no longer (or never) existed. So we went back to the other place and looked at the Civic… and then the sales­man (Tom) came out to talk to us. He gave us the keys and told me to take it for a test drive.

It drove awe­some! It was a stick, which wasn't my pref­er­ence, but it was still cool. It had a black leather inte­rior, in great con­di­tion, and a nice stereo.

When we got back to the deal­er­ship, he ran my credit and I filled out the appli­ca­tion. I had $500 to put down on the car. The only prob­lem was that for the Civic, they wanted $700 down.

So he offered this shitty blue 1990 Civic to me for $500 down. We test drove it to Sub­way, and I hated it. So Megan told me that she would lend me the other $200 to put down on the good car. Then we got into a bit of a fight…

She said that I never let her be gen­er­ous, and then I got shitty by say­ing that I didn't let her because she throws it back in her face. Both of us got upset, and we left Sub­way that way.

Out­side, I told her that I was sorry and that I was tak­ing a lot of my stress out on her. Even­tu­ally, we agreed that if she wanted to help me with it, she could.

We got back to the deal­er­ship and called the bank to see exactly how much money we had in our respec­tive accounts. Then Tom came back out­side and told me that he spoke with his man­ager, and was told that I could get the Civic for $500 down!

I was so excited, I jumped for Joyce!

After sign­ing about a mil­lion papers, I am now $500 poorer, but more impor­tantly, I am the new owner of a 1992 Honda Civic!

We drove back home from Gree­ley, and after tak­ing the new car for a spin, we spent the evening watch­ing From Dusk Till Dawn and eat­ing ice cream. Very nice…

Sun­day

Today has been a pretty bland day. Megan's been busy all day doing col­lege and con­fer­ence stuff, so I've been hang­ing out.

On another note, the U.S. has began bomb­ing sites in Afghanistan. I'm not sure right now what my posi­tion on the war-to-come is, but I did feel com­pelled to post this entry ear­lier today.

My uncle Joe and his fam­ily came over for a while this evening and we talked com­puter stuff for a while.

I called Jake after my uncle left, and then I drove over to his house to go crus­ing for a while. We talked about some stuff and just hung out. Then I drove home. Nice night for a cruise.

I get to sleep in tomor­row… yes!
