Sat Oct 10 08:43:39 EDT 2015 Went to bed around eleven last night, slept well, and woke up around eight. Mostly sunny with a high of sixty-three. The plan for today: 1. Mom and Renny will pick me up. 2. We'll put a new serpentine belt on my old car, then drive it home. 3. Mom (and Renny, I suppose, now) drive me to the dealer to buy a new car. Hmm. Quarter after ten, and mom hasn't shown up yet.... --- Got a new car! I ended up leasing a Scion iA. They didn't have the Abyss (dark blue) but I'm pretty happy with the Graphite (dark gray). Drove a Prius C and a Corolla, but the iA was the only one with an ounce of fun. Spent some time debating whether I should lease or buy. Decided to lease. Because of the deal, I won't take much of a hit versus the sticker price if I decide to buy it out at the end of the lease. Even got in a short walk at the dealership while waiting for the paperwork. I'm pretty happy. (Renny got my old car fixed, so I was able to drive it home. It seems like the broken serpentine belt might have caused an oil leak though; not sure it will be drivable without further repairs. Oh, well. Donate?) Also, the Scion FR-S is pretty looking.
