Mi Coche #2!

Yes! A part 2 to the finger-biting part 1! Now Kevin can stop nibbling his fingers (cannibal) and can play wii (right?) with his stubs.
Recap- my car was stolen and the po-po called me to inform me that it was found in Norwalk.
So after the long and grueling SAT on Saturday, I came home excited. I was PUMPED to go and get my car. Pumped and nervous because I really didn't want to see my car with the interior ripped up and the exterior ruined. I didn't want to go inside my car and see how the inconsiderate bunghole hotwired my car.
So my dad and I drove to the police station and were told to go to the towing impound place. We go, and the place is closed! WHAT? But a rather large man told us that we could call and make an appointment to come back later the same day. All of a sudden from inside this dusty white building I hear a little kid crying. So there has to be someone in there right now. Excellent... we can get my car now! But my dad called and the man inside with his little kid said that there was nobody at the shop at that time and after my dad said he could hear him in there the man said that he would charge us $200 if we wanted to get the car now. The actual price is $43. What a little................
This is where it gets exciting.
As we were driving home my dad said he had an errand to run. Alright good for my dad. He then said that we were going to the Honda dealer. I was excited about that! My mom and I have gone twice before to test drive the Elements and get pricing and stuff. My dad and I decided to do the same. We check out the '07 models and find out that there is only one red one in stock. BAM!! CRAZINESS! Out of nowhere we are in the office negotiating prices. My dad is amazing at negotiating prices. He had my mom look up the car online and carsdirect.com and give him their price. He pretty much told the manager that that was the price we wanted, and if they didn't want to make a deal then we weren't interested. I didn't think it was going to work. I mean we are talking a couple thousand dollars off the price, at least. BUT they did it!! WOOOT!
So now I have a red rental car and my red Element outside of my house, and my baby Trooper at the Isuzu dealership to be fixed.
So does anyone want to buy a '94 manual Isuzu Trooper? It's in great condition... the pooper who took it didn't scratch it or shred anything. HEY, calm down there! Don't break my door down! :)
So a very very happy Sunday to you all. Drink lots of water and have a nice banana.

Wait...hold on. What's this about a banana?

J said...

I'm kinda slow...I think you're milk friend insulted you. Or was it me? I'm not quite sure...hmmm....
Still wondering why I should eat a banana. I prefer strawberries. They're not ripe tho. That stinks... I'm not really a fruit person anyways. I'm more veggie.
Wait--I think I should end the one-girl conversation about my eating habits. I'm probably boring you. LOL
Bye!
