I Need A New Car

I was listening to Adam Sandler’s Ode To My Car this afternoon and thinking how it applied to me. The “Old Nole” is feeling a little dated, now that its reached the ripe age of 14.

It didn’t help that I came back to a car still covered with snowy, icy grime. Or that I drove a peppy rental car on my trip. I wan’t particularly fond of the Oldsmobile Alero (Alero, by the way, is an Indian word meaning “don’t leave the lights on all night”), but it did have some power. When it would start.

Getting a new car is on my list of As Yet Unpublished new year’s resolutions. I hated the car buying process before, and I’m even less fond of it after reading this (long!) article on Edmunds.com about life as a car salesman. I’m going to be incredibly prepared once I get serious about buying.

I’ve updated the mt.net poll with new car suggestions. You can help me decide. If I missed something, let me know that, too.
