Congratulate me, as I am now officially in debt for the next 60 months as a result of my very first financing on a new(er) car! Whoohoo! I bought a 2004 Hyundai Elantra on Saturday and I love it. Traded in my 1994 Chevy Corsica (153,000+ miles) and now I have the newest car I’ve ever had in my life.

I got exactly what I wanted, for the price I wanted and I’m so happy I could burst (which would be really messy, so I’ll try not to burst in my new car).

Congrats! I just killed my car, so the Universal Scales are now in balance again. At least here on the Dope. Unless someone else here bought a car this month. Or totaled one.
