New Car

As I have mentioned in a previous blog, this past week I got a new ride, a 2003 Infiniti G35 sedan. After considering a wide range of possibilities, I finally settled on getting the G35. It had to be a quick decision, with my job set to start in a few days, and it took basically one afternoon to get the deal done.

So far, I am babying this car as much as I can before it is forcibly broken in on Monday, when I start the daily commute. I gotta say, it's really really hard to resist the temptation to just let go and set those 260 ponies loose, but I gotta be strong. Patience is a virtue... I just wish I was more virtuous.

People might be wondering, what about the Maxima? That thing was almost a part of my identity for the past few years. Well, as much as I would have loved to keep it for a lot longer, everything was pointing towards me giving it up to my sister. Of course I wasn't happy about it at the time, and I still miss my old baby, but at least it stays in the family and I will get to see her on breaks and some weekends. When my sis comes home, me and my ex will have to spend some time together catching up on old times. I'll hand over the keys to the G for a couple days, no prob.

I am really loving the new car so far, with all the snazzy features like radio/CD controls on the steering wheel and a rearview mirror that dims when the sun is too bright. But I gotta say, nothing will ever replace the Max. I'll always treasure the times we had together. I'll forever love the familiarity of sitting in that drivers seat and being in touch with everything around me. *sniff* I'd like to dedicate a few lines...

"How do I
say goodbye
to what we had?
The good times
that made us laugh
outweigh the bad.

I thought we'd get
to see forever
but forever's gone away.
It's so hard
to say goodbye
to yesterday.

And I'll take
with me the memories
To be my sunshine
after the rain
It's so hard
to say goodbye
to yesterday..."

hahaha before my blog gets any gayer, I should stop. Also, Olivia will start getting jealous if she ever reads this.

Someone has suggested that I take people for rides and charge them admission. Well, it's a nice car, but it's not that nice. It's not "Ford Tempo nice" by any stretch of the imagination, that's for sure. But if anyone still wants a ride, you can just ask and I will say yes (assuming that I like you).

By the way, I am guessing that with the changes coming up in my life, my blog will be at least somewhat affected. Don't know for sure, but I think the really really long entries are gonna be a thing of the past. I'm not sure I will update as often either, but we'll see. Believe me, I like writing blogs, but realistically, it's not gonna be as easy or accessible when I'm not working at home, when I would have loads of free time in between patches of business. Oh well, whatever happens happens.
