so everybody sees you. random ludacris reference aside, i feel like i'm going two miles an hour in some regards and 200 mph in others. life is frenetic here. an hour or so a day to unwind at most, it's no wonder that i melt into stupidity and tv as soon as i get home when i don't have something to do at night. it's also no wonder i'm barely productive in the hour and change i stay after work most days. when i've got plans, i get twice the work done in half the time. go figure!
two miles an hour seems to be the pace that i'm working on some other things. it took me a month to prep and paint my table. it took me 4 months to get the chairs i wanted together so i could actually eat on it. after my handmade checkers christmas gift, it took me almost two months to paint the box for it. now it sits waiting for competition. now the great car search begins. it started with much research. first test drive, much disappointment. i won't rule out the possibility of the V6, but i just wasn't $13,000 worth of impressed. as my dad pointed out, i'll likely be driving this one for a while.
back to square one. my "helper" in the form of a student's parent that pretty much runs a group of dealerships around here has been great. i replayed my experience to her, she laughed and said, "we often talk about how people have become tire clickers instead of tire kickers on the lot." in the running now, the V6 nissan xterra, scion xB, vw GTI, mazda 3i, dodge charger, toyota 4runner, honda element. any other ideas?

I'd rule out the VW...I love mine, bu they don't make them like they use to! Just the little things that shouldn't go wrong UNTIL you've paid it off. Go for the toyota or honda or better yet a hybrid!
did i mention these are all used car prospects? there's no way in HELL i'm going upside down as soon as i drive a new car off the lot!
I agree about the VW. I've had two, and while I really liked them both, I've already decided that my next car probably will be something different. They're just a pain to have them worked on. It took my brother (who is very mechanically inclined) two hours to remove my battery once, because it was really hard to get to and bolted down with some weird bolts that he had to borrow the tool for. And everything in the manual says "Go to the dealership." Even changing the tail light.
I don't know about all of the cars that you listed, but are any of them hybrids? I'd like to have one of those eventually.
no hybrids. too much money for my finances. have you two met because i think you'd be great pals? you've already got your internship in common...
are you trying to play matchmaker?
hehehehe just kidding!
