I took yesterday off work and headed from my folks place up to Columbus to buy a car from one of my friends. I was running early enough to take some time to sit in a park for a while and enjoy the sunshine – put me in a good mood.
I got to the dealership right on time and my friend met me at the door. We talked about some used cars, then took a test drive. I liked the car and within a couple of hours of walking in I was driving out in a new 2012 Honda Civic Lx.
Highlights:
1. This was far better than my last car buying experience
2. I had a higher credit rating than the finance guy had ever seen.
3. I put a good chunk of money down and my payments shouldn’t be too bad.
I took an easy drive back home with the AC on and the radio blasting. The inside of the car has very soothing lighting and – weirdly enough – it feels like a “grown-up” car. Not really sure what that means, but I feel like I should be wearing a tie or something when I drive it.
When I got home, I mowed the yard and got some sunshine. Even with buying a new car and the drive back to Akron, it was a pretty low stress day.

Congrats on the grown up car! What color? I wanna see it! Maybe you should just drive it down to New Phila. Ya, that’s a good idea.
