Last car post, I swear

[dancerjodi]

Whee! My new car is so zippy! And pretty! It was sad letting the Saturn go but I definitely made the right decision. Its comfy and large and fast and cute. I'm amazed at how high off the ground I feel while driving it.

It has a name too! My new car is Hedwig (as in the angry inch). See former comments about it being a 'neutered hot rod' (i.e. its got a little bit of penis to it, but nothing major). Its also a fabulous peacock blue color, so it just fits I think.

The cheap cassette adapter I picked up at the Target in Everett just kept ejecting itself from the car so I was pretty bummed. We went into another target and I found one of another more reputable brand (white - specifically advertised for Ipod) and my car seems to like that. Given that the sound is fairly good and I may need a new Ipod soon anyway, I may hold off on getting an installed CD player in the car and just get a new Ipod instead. Hell, I could get a new Ipod for the gym and keep my old first gen one in the car at all times inside the console (just charging from the car's lighter when needed). I'll have to think on that one for a bit. I almost bought a Sony player at Best Buy tonight (plays MP3 CDs and has a line in and would have had free installation) but they were out of stock. I don't know when I'd get it installed before November anyway, so for now I'll just hold out with my Ipod.

Funny you mention the cassette adapter for iPod. I was standing in front of a display at the Watertown Target tonight conflicted about buying one for you... but she would have one already.. but it's a nice thought... but when would I give it to her.... yeah, I'm a dorkus.

A peacock blue car with a hint of penis. Boy, now that's a sales pitch. :)

Congrats !

Congrats on the new wheels! Having a 'zippy' car is one of life's greatest pleasures. After having my WRX for almost a year now, I would have great difficulty going to anything else with less power/acceleration/etc...
