It's about time!

Yesterday afternoon, on a whim, I texted the sales guy at the Cerritos dealer. "I take it my car isn't in yet?" His response? "It just rolled off the truck and it's beautiful!" I let out a whoop and told Brent we had to go!

I was getting thiiiiis close to compromising on what color combo I wanted. I was so fed up with Cerritos that I even went back to the Culver City dealer on Friday (the one who was going to charge $500 more, including $350 of non-essential accessories) to check one out with a different interior. I wasn't in love with the combo, but I started to convince myself that it might not be so bad.

But once I heard that the exact one I wanted had arrived, I knew that I had to have it. We made the 30-mile trek, filled out some finance paper work, then anxiously awaited the arrival of my car while they detailed it.

It's beautiful. It's much higher than my two-door sports car. I can actually drive more than one person at a time -- plenty of room for Em Dash! It drives smoothly and has tons of great features. It's going to take a little while to get used to, but I'm so very excited.

Sadly I won't be sharing exactly what car I got (a little blog paranoia on my end), but if you happen to be a Flickr friend, you should be able to see it here.

Most of all I'm happy to be done with all the drama and the headaches. It's mine, all mine!

"Go to my car. Open the trunk. Inside, you will see many pelts. Under the smallest one is a case. Inside that case is a bear horn. Bring it to me." - Dwight, The Office
