Thoughts and Musings

Squee! I am so excited right now! I have a new car!

Getting a hybrid isn't easy, especially when I'm picky about the color and interior. So, it took a few months, but they were able to get in what I wanted. It has one more thing on it than I asked for (a trailor hitch), but because I didn't ask for it, I wasn't charged for it.

I was able to work it financially by adding in a little more than 7k of my own money. Totally worth it!

When I took Lexus Luthor over to be traded in, I started to wonder if I had made the right choice. I've had Luthor since 2001 and loved him dearly. When we got there I said my goodbyes, told him why we were parting, gave him a kiss on the steering wheel, and cried. What? I get attached to my cars.

When I saw the new one, my mood changed and I knew I had made the right decision. There was even a bouquet of roses waiting for me on the car, how many dealers do that?

I handed my keys over to Jeff, did the money stuff and transferred my title over to the financing lady, and then Jeff took me out to play with the new car. They're handling all of the DMV paperwork and the transfer of my registration and plates. The plates stay with the car in this state.

Oh my god, this car is hot! If it had a bathroom and a bed, I could freakin' live in it!

It has a navigation system and bluetooth. I made a phone call with my cell in my purse and closed. I could hear the other person over the speakers of the car and just talk and they could hear me. Too cool.

The exterior is "brandywine mica", which is a burgundy color. Kind of a dark brownish red that looks amazing in the sun. The interior is black leather. The combo looks great. There's wood paneling inside and that's even on the steering wheel. The best part, is that it's a hybrid.

Starting the car is really weird. There's no noise when it starts. You just turn the key on quickly and a "ready" light comes on. When I showed Rob the car last night he thought it was so weird that the car was on and there was no noise. That's cause it didn't need the engine at the time.

It's a 2008 Lexus RX 400h. I absolutely love it!!! I do miss Luthor, but I know this was the right thing to do. It might take me awhile to get a name for it though, I don't even know if it's a boy or a girl yet.

Rob says his car is envious. *smiles*

The Which SUPER HERO are you Test

Batman

Cool, calm and powerful. Whilst your actual super abilities may not be anything too dazzling, you have earnt the respect of both friends and enemies in response to your amazing fighting skills, strategic combat and experience.

Luckily you have access to the greens which can fund all your majorly cool gadgets, vehicles and weapons! Also, you're reluctant but still accepting to the idea of having a teammate/side-kick, which just makes everything a whole lotta fun, doesn't it now!

On the down side, you've probably suffered some sort of trauma at a young age (that's why we don't talk to the old man near the swings, kids). Similar to the Wolverine, your past is a base for your current motivation, undertaking some kind of personal vow in search of justice.

All in all though, you're one tough nut. There's not a lot of people who have the minerals to go up against you, and you're experienced enough not to get cocky and let the little things like never finding happiness get you down!
