New Car!
I've been threatening to do it for months now, but I finally did it. I bought a car. It is a 2005 Civic LX Special Edition with a 5-speed manual transmission and a sweet stereo system. This really is my dream car. I was looking at new Toyotas and Nissans, but they were anywhere from $2000 to $4000 more expensive. And they felt like toys. This feels like a real car. I got a great deal on it, and the resale value will stay higher. Anyway, I'm very pleased.
It is going to be weird getting used to a new car. When something is that much a part of your life for over 6 years, it is hard to part with. Everyone told me that this would happen, but I didn't believe them until now. I'm afraid when I pull into my apartment complex with my new car and park it next to my old one that I left in Lubbock, the poor Nissan is going to feel very insecure. Anyway, you've been good to me, Sentra; I'm sorry for abandoning you like this.
I'm accepting suggestions for names for it. I'm not a big car-namer, but I know several of you are very adamant about this, and so I'm keeping an open mind.

Congratulations, it's lovely! I will be thinking about names. How about "Stephen's Last Night in Town"?
hmm....a bit long, but I like the ben folds reference. what about "kate"? a little boring, I guess...
mimi
i think you should definitely go with brandon's suggestion. hands down.
a girl named Mimi once told me that she didn't go to Texas Tech because all the girls there have STDs. just something to keep in mind.
why would she care unless she was a lesbian?
i think she just didn't want to be associated with such low-lifes. or maybe she thought the STDs were in the drinking water or something. she's not a smart girl.
The only Mimi I know is a drag queen from Bryan. Sorry to hear about the car!!
