Daily Grin September 29
Okay... don't ask!! lol I did go and test drive a couple of cars but could NOT get it through the salesman's head that he should stop showing me cars that were double my range! I did finally get someone to listen to me and we looked at one that was within my range but it didn't have an automatic transmission. It was a stick-shift. I haven't driven a standard stick in about 24 years, and even then it was only once... but hey..... I'm game... especially if it might improve my bargaining position. Would you believe they would not budge on the price?? There was a few things I noticed that needed to be repaired and they wouldn't commit to repairing them and wouldn't discount the price of the car either. Anyway, driving a stick was fun and I remembered most of all the stuff you need to do. I drove it twice and only stalled it 3 times and those were all in the "trying to get off the line" stage. I did very good after that!
So that was my excitement for the day. Tomorrow is my appt with the bank and then more test drives. I am determined to get a car this weekend... but I am equally determined to not get HOSED!
See ya!! J

Your Dog's Barking
Bernard, who is noted for his gracious manners, was awakened one morning at four forty four a.m. by his ringing telephone...
"Your dog's barking, and it's keeping me awake," said an angry voice.
Bernard thanked the caller and politely asked his name and number before hanging up.
The next morning at precisely four forty four a.m., Bernard called his neighbor back ...
"Good morning, Mr. Williams.... Just called to say that I don't *have* a dog."
