An update, I guess.

The old car is sitting in the driveway. Can’t figure out whether I want to scrap it or fix it (sorta) myself.

BUT, I bought a 1999 Camry with 107k miles, all driven by a little grandmother. And it was only three grand.

…and another BUT. That grandmother is almost certainly dead by now. I technically bought it from her friends who were paying her funeral costs, and were selling it low because they wanted it sold within hours. From what I can tell, Grandma Toyota was a big fan of Jesus. She had a Jesus front-side fake license plate, a bumper sticker AND the fishy.

So in a way, this car is awkward. But in another way, it’s amazing. The last one had rips in the degrading ceiling, rust along the underside, no A/C and lousing heating, random unexplained stains, a jacked rearview mirror, and other junk. This one’s got a nice interior, a CD player, a straightforward setup, and air conditioning. In this car, I don’t feel ashamed to drive a lovely lady somewhere. As in, I’ve actually managed a few dates this past months.

Lemme tell you something: it was so much easier when we were younger, and more desperate. Shoot, I’d date anyone, and only in a stumbling fashion.

These days, not so much. For me to consider her, a girl’s got to have something different and exciting. Maybe knowing four languages, or polka-dot eyebrows(happened, actually), or an amazing singing voice. And I’ll ask her out, instead of hoping she notices me, or trying to drop little hints.That’s a lot of progress.

So yeah. Everything is great :) .
