I forgot to mention this when I posted about Zach not going into the Army. I have decided to still get a new car. If Hoopty hadn't been such a cheap car to start with or if he hadn't been hit by a bus and ran over a pipe on the interstate requiring a new oil pan thingy put in I might kept him. However, I am ready for a car that doesn't feel like it is about to fall apart at any moment.

I am pretty sure I am going to get a used car, one that is just a couple years old. However, I have no idea how to do this at all. I bought Hoopty from a friend of mine and this is the only car I have ever owned. I don't really think I have ever been to a car lot before. Any advice? Anyone want to go test drive a car with me? Any car suggestions? I like Sedans, I am thinking about the Mazda 6 but that isn't really based on anything.

Well, a full warranty on a car is really important to me. Seriously, if ANYTHING happens to my car, they have to fix it for free. And having a semi-new technology car, that's come in VERY handy. Plus any modern car is more computers than anything and nobody really knows what the hell is going on with them. So I like warranties (:

I'm actually really really liking this season. I wasn't sure at first cause I thought Steven Moffat was just trying to scare the hell out of me. But then they had a lot of subtle stuff, and then they had that one scene in the angel show with the hey-you're-not-the-same-doctor-are-you thing.

My only concern about a new car is that I live in a pretty crappy neighborhood with no garage.

I haven't noticed the subtle stuff, which is why I haven't been commenting on it. I usually like Steven Moffat's writing but I haven't been in the right mindset to really watch them.

It's not like you're thinking of getting a Jaguar or something. And apparently nobody steals car radios anymore because there's no money in it.

You've not been in the right mindset for months??? You should hold off on watching it for a bit. And then rewatch it (:
