Finally bought a car today. You honestly don’t want to hear the long story leading up to the lucky finalisation today. Never mind, in the end, with much help from my sweetheart, I found a car, had a look at it about 10 days ago, decided for it, made a down-payment, organised the rest of the funding, put a stack of cash on a desktop today and alas, I own a car once again. Can’t drive it yet, though. Perpetuum immobile. Perpetual no-motion machine. For the time being. Not for long and my life will be much easier again. Gone will be the days I have to spend more than three hours to get to and back from work, if I ever got there at all. You can’t imagine how I look forward to this. And how my regular cab guys will hate the end of their extra income.
Anyways, next Tuesday I shall get number plates, by end of next week I will have it driven to someplace close and in a couple of weeks I shall be at the steering wheel myself again.
And a good deal I got, too. For a little city car built in May 2008, put on German streets in November 2008 for the first time with a mere 22.000 km on the meter up to now I only had to pay 4,5 grant. Never owned a car that new. Looks brand new to me. And the best thing about it: it is red. No more shade not normally produced by nature, which was the horrible tinge of green my last car had. So much for female prioritising, as far as cars are concerned.
Drive my car, The Beatles
