Well today has been quite interesting. And no, I don't have pics of a 45k porsche in here... I don't even have pics of the new car cause I have to pick it up tomorrow. It's only a saturn and I'm buying it cause my Rodeo's engine exploded.
Woke up @ 12:30 after staying up late playing NL200 and learning a LOT. Started the night spewing left and right but made it all back once I figured out what I was doing wrong and got a bit more disciplined with myself. From home I took my GF to the office so she could get some work done while I went and made the deposit on our new apartment. We've spent the last 14 days hunting for a place and we finally found a great 2 bedroom, 2 story with a basement townhouse for $625, and walking distance from our office, a movie theatre, and lot's of good restaurants. Bigtime score.
But the vexing part of the day was any moment in the car, as about 3 days ago it started making a rattling noise... which became louder and quicker and more annoying. I was hoping that the axel which we'd neglected to fix was just being more noisy than usual, but I was pretty sure that I was facing a loose rod in the engine. I've faced that problem before as all my previous cars were bought as cheap as I could get em, mostly off of craigs list, and I managed to run them all into the ground.
Got it into the shop yesterday and my worst fears were confirmed, so last night we hunted for a new car and found the saturn since we definitely weren't throwing anymore money into fixing this piece of shit. All day today was like driving around a time bomb and the ticking was audible to anyone within 100 ft of the car, as the rod kept banging away faster and faster the longer I drove. I began throwing it into neutral anytime I had enough speed going, and especially when going down a hill. I just wanted the car to survive one more day.
I got the deposit done, picked up the GF and we headed out the dealership. Luckily we made it there and worked out a nice deal for the new car. But it wasn't ready as they still had to detail it, so they told us to come pick it up tomorrow afternoon. We got back into the Rodeo and hoped it could survive the 15 minute drive back to the house... and of course it didn't. Right when we got halfway between the house and the dealership the car died on us... on the highway of course. Luckily there wasn't any smoke or flames (like I had on one of my last cars) so I just pulled it to the side of the road. We called AAA and were told we'd have a 2 hour wait for a tow truck... so we got some food, then got lucky and they actually came after 1 hour.
Home now and tired. Not really feeling poker right now though I definitely need to play and get that extra cash flow going to cover all these fun new expenses. I'm really happy to have a new car though, cause I've never had anything with any sort of warranty or less than 100,000 miles on it. It will be a good feeling to know the car is gonna start and isn't going to break down, and if it DOES, I won't have to pay for the fucking repairs.
The new apartment will be sweet also. Feb 1st we move in. Biggest problem is that we're not rolling deep in money and don't have that much stuff to move into the place. Hopefully I can earn enough FPP to get a TV off of PS. We're basically gonna have to slowly furnish the place as time goes on. We do have a bed and a table for the computer, and that's all that matters, right?

Don't worry, we've been doing it for about 16 months now and it's awesome. =) And we actually are engaged but don't have a date set for the wedding right now but are hoping for sometime in the summer. Guess I'm breaking all of the dudes rules! hehe |
