Driving Down The Block In A New Car!

I'm not a car guy. Matter of fact the main reason I got my driver's license (at 26) was to get my wife off my back. You see she's been driving since ‘99 and I've been on the R train since ‘89. I still haven't conquered the highway yet but I will. I say all this because this past Saturday I became a car owner, well, co-owner. My wife's Ford Escort was busted like Eliot Spitzer. Even though Betty (the old car’s name) got us from A to B she had no air conditioner, oil stains and was just an old hag at this point.

So Saturday we went to a WKTU (my wife’s 9-5) client and got somewhat of a deal, as much as you can get from a car salesman. After an hour we settled on a Nissan Altima 2008. Several hours later we were signing papers for the hundredth time. Every time Leo, this funny hairy (not a stereotype, he looked like he was wearing wool sweater) Italian, would say something it sounded he was inventing words on the spot. Again we got a decent deal but I couldn’t help but feel like Beecher from Oz, pause. BTW We named the new car Miles because the color is dark blue. Do any of y’all have any car dealership stories?

Uno,

Jesus

Not really, dude. I remember going with my cousin (tone's sister)to buy her car, but the Phillies probably won that day.
