Starting where I left off, I am hacked off with stuff.

I am stuck waiting for someone to come to the car...

I am also dreading going back to work...feel I'll just burst into tears when I get there, though I have remembered that I have Monday off so maybe a couple more days and i will feel a bit better about going...The stats and targets are what pees me off...the job I actually do is enjoyable in it's own way...so many different people to speak to...I even dreamt about work last night, Friday really got to me...as my rant in the Friday thread migt have indicated lol...at least I seem to be holding back the tears today but still feeling very blue and emotional and stressed cry

At least we have our health...and the sun is shining here...and we just won 2 golds at the Olympics...not that I have watched any of it at all yet.blankstare

Good morning everyone.  I have to pick up my youngest daughter from band camp today.  I've missed her this week while she's been gone.  Then I have to finish packing and go to the grocery store.  Not sure if I'm going to the cabin tomorrow or Monday.  I'll see how tired out my girl is when she gets home.

Hope everyone has a great day!  smile

Good morning all.

Well, I spent the WHOLE day with the King yesterday but got a deal done on a car that I could live with. Now my only remaining issue is whether or not to take the extended warranty. It's bumper to bumper with tons of extras, some of which are:

Four years of free roadside assistance (which would save me $300 in AAA fees over that time)

Free Rental car when my car is being fixed.

Free hotel rooms when my car breaks down on the road.

But it's VERY expensive. I have to decide if the car is likely to break down enough in the next 50,000 miles to make up for the $2000 price tag of the bumper to bumper warranty. Plus it's got a $200 deductible, so it's really $2200.

Anyway, I think I got a great deal on the car. It was a 2004 with only 49,000 miles on it and they listed it at 9,000. This made me nervous because I was finding 2004's of the same make and model with 110,000 miles for 11,000 on some dealers lots.

Turns out the reason it was so cheap is two fold. It has some rear bumper damage (which I don't care about at all, the carfax report says it had no serious accidents) and it was a repossessed vehicle so when they grabbed it a few things were missing. The third row of seats isn't included (I threw my third row out in the last van, I never carry 7 passengers anyway) and a cool gizmo for the back that held grocery bags in place was missing.

After spending the day there I got em' to get the deal done for $8,000 even, that included title, license & delivery fees.

So I'm pretty happy. It drives great, it looks good and it's only got 49,000 miles on it for $8,000. It should last me for many years clap.gif

Is sexy, no?  (And T-Gal said it wasn't a chick magnet no.gif  BAH!)

I now return you to your normal saturday programming.

That does sound like a good deal. Because of the circumstances that I got my new car, I got the extended warranty. It sounds like the same one you got. Now, sometimes my car seems hard to start, which is probably the starter or fuel injector, which would be covered by warranty!

Back from the funeral.

We're all tired from getting up early. We've got the demolition derby at 6:30pm. I think we're going to rest a bit.

Got my girl back home, went to the grocery store, and have everything packed up to go.  Whew, I'm tired!! 

JR, that's a nice lookin' ride you got there, but as for it being a chick magnet......sorry, I don't think so buddy. 

I took an extended warranty on my car when I bought it.  It's a '96, I bought it in '98, it had 25,000 miles on it, manufacturer's warranty was 3 yrs/30,000 miles.  I'm so glad I took the extended warranty because right after the manufacturer's warranty expired, I had to have a new power steering pump put in my car, the alternator went out, and the cd player stopped working, all within the first year after the manufacturer's warranty expired.  I paid $1,500 for the extended warranty with no deductible......power steering pump with labor alone was over $1,000, alternator with labor was another $400 or $500, and a new sound system was another $800.  The following year I had problems with my A/C; the compressor wasn't working right...that was another few hundred bucks.  Each time my car was in the shop, I got a free rental car to use too. I was really happy I bought the extended warranty, and will do so again the next time I buy another vehicle.  smile

Hmm, yeah. I'm leaning toward taking it if I can get them to lower the price.

When I refused to take it before I left he told me if price was a consideration they could probably get it down a bit. I may tell them if they can drop it from 2000 down to 1500 I'll take it. See if they bite.

If not, I think I'll take the gamble that in four years I won't have more than 2000 in repairs on it.

Nothin. I don't care if you nap. It's Ghost that was making a big deal of it.

She was all like "Wha? He's nappin' again? That Web is such a loser"

I was just trying to defend you buddy. I said "Web ain't no loser Ghost!"

That's EXACTLY how it went.

Although if I know her, she'll come up with some crazy story to deny it no.gif

JR, I don't want to see your PMS.

Living with one woman is enough.

Don't make fun of me! sniff.gif

Sometimes I wonder about that guy.
