well.. you're good... but yea.. I am actually going for a new-er car this time and I am sticking to it.

Tuesday I have to drop off some more checks for the grill badges (order goes out monday so get on it you two people that you know who you are) and will talk with the bank person that deals with the loans. I already know what I want and will keep an eye out in the coming months for the exact car as well as do some more odd jobs to get some more funds in the bank.

Remember, I'm open to you driving down and taking my 126 home with you. I'll pay you for the work you do on it and you can put that money to the new car fund. In the meantime while your car is sitting here, you can put the miles on mine instead of yours.

Almost free. The IRS will be happy to get a little more from you. The gubmint worked hard for it.
