neebsLast night George picked me up at the metro station and we headed up to the Rockville Carmax. I had found a 2002 Corolla in an acceptable color and price range, so we went up to check it out. My parents drove all the way from Annapolis in rush hour traffic to meet us, as well. When we got there, we wandered around the lot for a bit. I found a V6 manual transmission Mustang in my price range...but not a convertible, and it was white, and rear wheel drive, which means no driving it in rain or snow. Which is only aobut 50% of the time here anyway. I was SO sad to have to leave my Mustang, but we had to find the Corolla.
We found it and it looked pretty good--there was a problem with the windsheild but the guy said they'd fix it before they sold it to us. So they guy gives us the keys to check out the inside. I sit in and start it up. It's perfect--just what I want!! So the guy takes my drivers license to go get me set up for a test drive. I get out of the car and start talking insurance with mom and dad. G gets in the car and starts messing around for old times sake. (He used to have a very similar Corolla.) All of the sudden, he interupts our insurance conversation and says "Uh, this car has no air conditioning."
..........
WHAT?!?!?!?! I didn't even know they MADE cars without A/C!!! I mean, this wasn't a car from the 80's--it was a 2002!!! So they guy comes back out with the license plate for the test drive and I tell him, nope, sorry, ain't gonna even bother test driving since there's no A/C. He says "that's impossible." So he gets in the car and sure enough, no A/C for him either. *Sigh.* And then we left.
G and I headed to Bertucci's for some pizza, then over to CP to watch the game with some friends. YAY SPURS!!!!!!!! I [heart] Timmy Duncan!!!!! It was a fantastic game, and I was happy to watch it.
