Re: Bought a new car!
its necissary, gas for the towncar is running me 300-400 a month JUST for commuting to work. I simply cant afford to keep it on daily driver duty.

I guess thats the price you pay for transporting your living room with you.

eitherway the contour isnt going to be modded in any way. its simply a dumb car that I'm going to take a hands off approach to.

and when its time comes, I'm going to pick up 2 blow up dolls and take it to the demolition derby.

That gag loses its charm when you don't have a rental counter to return it to after specifically declining the car insurance.

Man; I saw the classified ad for that over on CEG, and thought that was an awesome deal. Good score, Terry.
