So, we bought a new car today. Well, new to us anyway. We got a ‘98 Neon R/T, white with blue racing stripes. It looks very cool. It’s a 5-speed, something I’ll be getting used to, but should be a lot of fun.

I took a half day off to take care of all the paperwork, silly DMV stuff. At least we got to finally put in our change of address forms, while we were there.


Tonight, Carlo and I went out to the American Family parking lot so I could practice with the clutch, and moving through gears and stuff. He said I did better than the other couple people he’s taught, to start.


I’m hoping to get the whole gearing thing much smoother, so it won’t be all violent, heh. And so I can drive it asap. He tells me it’s a pretty forgiving car to learn on. I’m all excited. It’s cheaper monthly, it’s easier on the gas, and better on ice.


Wheee, way cool!
