| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you go west with the black setting sun... In the end we lucked out and got a great car loan through our friend B. who is a manager at a local car dealer. Actually, I wouldn't call it luck, I'd call it what was right. He ran our credit reports. Our scores were, he said, excellent--contrary to what the banks told us. They just don't want to loan money to anyone, he said. And so we drove off the lot with a brand new Honda Insight Hybrid. It feels weird to buy a brand new car when we could be foreclosing on our house but the price and monthly payment were unbeatable and C's old car was 16 years old and he commutes 50 miles to work every day and the money he saves on gas will make it worth it. It weirdly felt like the best thing we could do--six months from now we might have horrible credit but his car would be even older and probably in need of major repairs and then we'd have to figure out how he'd get to work. Have I mentioned lately that sometimes I hate being an adult? I guess you do what you gotta do...and mostly that just means moving forward, always going, going, going 5:59 pm - 10.10.10
