New ride
So I had been pondering getting rid of my car lately in favor of something newer, not because the Mint Bird is a bad car (just the opposite actually) but because I know it will depreciate much more as soon as it hits 200k (it’s at 178k right now) and I wanted to be able to get something for it instead of running her into the ground and having nothing left. So, I narrowed it down to the Mazda 3 and the Scion tC.
Got financing, researched both cars, read consumer reviews, and between these two cars it’s a damn tie as far as reviews go…
I got the Scion tC. I test drove it in Flint Mica, but decided on Classic Silver so that the black roof would be more visible. I test drive it at 3 miles, it was mine at 5, rolled off the lot at 6. Now it’s at 46, feeling like a loose whore, and destined for a used car lot. Not really though.
The interior of these things are pretty nice, lots of things standard, and so much room to customize. The manager of the Scion dealership was family and was really helpful and friendly, even gave me a better financing deal than the lender I originally went through. That’s coo in my book. I’m going to have to post a pic of me and both of my babies–the ‘07 Scion tC and ‘05 police package Impala–but for now you’ll just have to imagine that in your head.
As for the other loads of bullshit going on–the issues at work–they have been mostly resolved. No lawyers, no action, no lawyer action, and no bringing it up. So, I will leave you with the inspiring words of Lil’ Kim:
“Fuck Junior M.A.F.I.A.
that chapter’s through
Them faggots done did something
that they can’t undo
And whoever ridin’ with ‘em
they can catch one too!”

Hey Jake, I just stumbled onto your blog from Tim’s. You seem like you’re also a gear head, which is cool and somewhat rare among most gay guys. I also have a Japanese sports car and every morning that I twist the key it brings a grin to my face. Enjoy your nice ride.
