...just bought a new car on one of those no money down, no payments for a while type deals. It's a hell of a car but now I gotta go and actually work a full time job. Oh well.

Does that little kid on those commercials seem freaky to you? I think he looks like Damien.

Well, don't keep us in suspense, Mags. What did you buy? And whatever it is, congratulations!

Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, 2003. Chrome Blue Pearl they call it. To me it just looks like the blue my room was painted as a kid.

wasn't really going after the Spyder that much but it just looked so damn sharp in the blue and they didn't offer it on the GT.

WilliamJ - .9%. It's only over three years but I can handle that.

Cool car, Mags!! I thought about buying one of those several years ago, but went with the Hondas instead (I know, I know--how practical can you get?). I still look at them and sigh every once in a while though. And a Spyder! Cool! :)

Yeah, but can you take home a load of pine straw in it? I think not.

Damn good airplanes. I also don't discriminate against companies who made confederate weaponry :p
I really did want to keep my money American, but that was the best offer and a hell of a car. At least it's assembled in Illinois.

thanks Honeygirl.

>>Yeah, but can you take home a load of pine straw in it? I think not.

Thank God.
It fits myself, it fits my horn OR my chick. That's part of what I was looking for.

Did yours come with a chick in a bad pink hat "poppin" to a fatboy slim track?

If not, you got ripped :D

nah, I left that off. that and the stupid vanity stripe.

Plus I think you're thinking of a different commercial. The Eclipse was the Dirty Vegas song.

hmm. There is a pink hat woman on the commercial after all.

It's funny, I remember trying to look at the car I ended up getting and I look over at the old man looking through Auto Trader. I might have to bury him with a copy or two, but hopefully not for a long time. That or buy him a $15 push mower from a yard sale.

>>How's that insurance?

Awful good, but on the plus side of that I'm getting 6 months as a grad present from a relative. No complaints to speak of, no.
