I have a new car.

Enormous thanks go to ladycelia, who called every Honda dealer in striking distance and found me the exact car I had chosen, in stock on a lot, at a very good price. Well, it was a very good price once she was done with the phone call. I am in awe.

I went down there this afternoon and signed a mountain of papers. There were not as many papers and signatures as when we bought the house, but there were way more than when I bought a car seventeen years ago, that's for sure!

Driving it back to work I felt like I was driving a bus. The significantly larger size will take some getting used to. I am also, apparently, an asshole magnet in this car. I got cut off four times in twenty minutes.

I took a picture of a big pile of papers, and another of the funkoid alien dashboard, but I didn't take the traditional picture of the outside of the vehicle. Then it got dark out. Pic tomorrow.

My poor dead car is still at the dealership. I hope to pick that up soon.

Thanks! :) I'm half-excited, half-terrified to be driving this new enormous thing!
