Vroooooom!
or not.
I failed to buy a car today. The sales manager and I disagreed on what's a reasonable amount of profit for an S2000. After years of hard training with my schoolfriends at being super petty in arguments, it was tough to resist the urge to utterly dismantle his every idiotic argument - after all, I was trying to get him to sell it to me, so I thought I'd best not point out too clearly how FULL OF SHIT he was.
"So why are you haggling over a couple of hundred bucks when you're effectively buying a small house? It makes no sense."
Nice, but just 3 things:
-where the f are you buying a house for the cost of a car? Must be a bad neighbourhood. Anyway, houses appreciate in value, cars nosedive the minute you drive 'em off the lot.
-since when did spending several thousand suddenly mean you can start throwing away a few hundreds?
-where is this mythical 'couple of hundred' coming from? My offer and your sticker price differ by almost 3 grand.
I upped, and left. In leui (sp?) of new vehicular transport, I bought new shoes.
It's been a good day tho'. I went in to work for an hour or two, went to the movies (I saw Be Cool - it's a couple of funny bits swimming in an ocean of painful shitness*) Then got Sushi. I'm considering cutting all non-sushi from my diet.
* Damn, Steven Tyler's acting is bad (surprise!), he looks like some kind of Jim Henson animatronic creature.

My ex-DD, who works for Microsoft now, drove an S2000. It is a smooth ride. I'd have forked over the dough, but that's me. I'm weak.
