20 days later...

I haven't blogged much recently, basically because not much has happened to blog about. Work, Warcraft, Sleep, Rinse, Repeat.

Well I guess one really cool thing did happen. I got a new ride. A 2002 Ford Explorer. I had my heart set on a Jeep Grand Cherokee of similar age, but after looking around for about a week after meeting the woman who had the Explorer for sale, I figured out several infallible facts about used car shopping. People who try to sell you a vehicle are full of shit. Yeah, no duh, this should be obvious. If you give them a set amount you want to spend they always say "Well, I don't have anything in that price range but I do have this vehicle over here for two thousand more. Hello, dumbshit, I just told you what I am willing to spend. Something else these people need to get through their heads is only a complete moron is going to spend ten thousand plus on a ten year old (or older) SUV or truck with 170 thousand miles on it. I know there are morons out there who would spend this type of money, but I ain't one of em! Mama and Papa didn't raise no dummy. I decided to go with the Explorer because it was in great shape, had good mileage, and the price was really good. Now I just need to get the rusting hulk in front of my garage that used to be a Ford Taurus sold.
