Picked up my new car !!

Well, the taxi driver got lost on the way, but I made it to the car dealership and there was my nice shiny used car waiting for me. I’ve driven it about 100 miles (to Karen’s house), and it seems to be working well. The car has NO automatic anything, and it’s amazing to be back in the world of roll up windows and manually locked doors. Those remote controls are amazing. Now I just have to re-learn to remember to lock the back doors when before I close them. Those remotes sure are handy. I’ll fill up the tank for the fist time tomorrow and will learn what kind of gas mileage the thing is getting.

The car is a 1999 Saturn SW1 (their smaller wagon) with 94,444 miles on it. Got it for a nice $3,000 (single owner, clean Carfax, etc.). It’s driving nicely.
