A New Car!
Yes, I am the proud purchaser of my first brand new car, a 2009 Hyundai Sonata (the artist in me appreciates the model, the Welshman enjoys the make). It is a four cylinder GLS with the most spacious trunk ever, an adapter for my iPod, and fuel efficiency to shame my Buick into a state of inconsolable weepiness (not that Buicks frequently weep.) And it is black as the Ace of spades - sexy!
The wheeling and dealing was remarkably pleasant. The dealer in question was the aptly named 'Happy Hyundai' of Oak Lawn. And though purchasing a car the last weekend of Cash for Clunkers sans clunker was not the most convenient experience (Ford dealers didn't even want to talk to me as I kept bringing up the Harrah's casino employee discount on Ford products), once the Sonata was settled upon, smooth sailing abounded.
In other news, my dad is in town (hooray Grumpy!) and we ate lots of barbecue and saw Inglourious Basterds, both of which delighted. Tomorrow's agenda: the Field Museum to see Harry Potter and the submarine that may or may not've sunk a cruise ship my grandmother was aboard, and then a swing by the Horseshoe Casino to display its opulence to my pater. And who knows what else? Where ever we go, we shall be traveling in style.
