I'm in the market for a new vehicle, since the truck that I'm driving,
while good looking and well running, has 173,000 miles on it. It's a
1995 Chevy Silverado, 4x4. My fiancee loves the thing, thinks it's the
manliest truck on this earth. For the record, she's 23, I'm 31, we
don't live together, and she's never had a FT job before since she just
graduated Grad School with an MBA. She's a lovely girl, just a little
idealistic sometimes due to youth.
So I go out today, just browsing and this car catches my eye - it' s a
2001 Mustang GT. Worse yet, it's a Mustang GT Bullitt - a Steve
McQueen style race car. So I test drive it, am unnaturally scared to
death of it, and then buy it. I figure since it's only got 38,000 on
the odometer, that it will get getter mileage than the giant truck, and
that she also has a Mustang that this will resonant well with the
fiancee.
Anyway, I proceed to call her after I buy it and she starts crying
because I got rid of the truck. She's a bit emotional too sometimes.
Please don't get the wrong idea, she's great, but emotional about
things sometimes.
Let me tell you a little bit more about the car - it's unbelievably
fast. I don't know the stats, but the car has some sort of mod chip in
it that pushes it to 305 HP. It's a five speed ass haulin' trip to the
hospital then to jail for wreckless driving. I admit that I'm a freak
for speed sometimes. This is without doubt the fastest car I've ever
been in. Anyway, it's a cool little thing with all of the bells and
whistles.
We're not going to have any children soon, so that not an issue, but
she did say that she thought I was going to get something more "yuppie"
- like an SUV or BMW or something like that.
Anyway, that's the boner. I think I'm going to take the car back
tomorrow morning and get the truck back. Any comments from my friends
on the list?
