General Update

For those who don’t already know, I did get a new car on Saturday.

I went to the dealership hoping that the one I saw online was still there, but alas, it wasn’t. The salesman wanted to sell me the lowest priced one that they had on the lot. Two problems with that: 1) it was white, and I am not fond of white cars. 2) it had no features of any sort (no radio or anything).

Then they only wanted to give me 15K for my trade-in when I know it is worth 25K.

I told them that I wanted to think about it and planned to walk out and keep m options open. The sales manager stopped me and asked what he could do to get me to buy. I told him.

What I got:

1) The car I wanted in Sapphire Blue (they took me to a different lot to get it).

2) Tinted windows

3) A CD player (having it installed on Wednesday)

4) My trade-in for 25K

5) All for the same sale price of the other one.

I really like my new car.

In fandom news, Only One Way Out part 6 is nearing completion. I just need to flesh out a scene that is only dialogue, finishing another scene in the middle, and figure out where and how to end this chapter. So far, this may be the longest part yet. I am wondering if it will reach 13 pages.

The plethora of pages is now what looks to be a completed part 6 and I have two pages of part 7, thought I think I will be pulling a few pages of what I had previously scribbled as the first part 6 to add to 7.

The fic that never ends and refuses to give me a way out.

Good going on the car deal! I would have been way too nervous to do that!

It's not as difficult as you might think. Not to mention one of my step-fathers was a used car salesman. ;)
