My life after gastric bypass surgery. It's about all my quirks and cool (and strange) thoughts.

Hmmm . . . Times have changed
I went to Karl Malone Toyota today just to look at cars. Mine has had so many problems and it has 92000 miles on it (FORD), so I can't take it on road trips. It overheats if I'm not careful and I have to keep the heat on full blast to avoid that.
So . . .the salesman was great and he flirted quite a bit. He showed me a Honda Civic with 38,000 miles on it and my heart sank. I looked at the car and was certain I wouldn't fit in it. He asked what was wrong with it and I told him I had lost 172 pounds this year and am worried that I'm still too big for that car. He laughed at me and said, "Are you shi**ng me? You are one fine girl. You think you're still fat? Hell no." We both started laughing and forced me to sit in the car. The car had so much room in it, it was crazy!! THe last time I tried to sit in a Civic, I wouldn't fit even with the seat all the way back. I had to move the seat way up in order to reach the steering wheel of this one!! He then proceeded to ask me out. It was kind of fun and he was handsome!!
I'm also considering a Scion. It has 50,000 on it but it is under warranty until 100,000 miles. Anyone have any car buying advice??? They are both manual transmissions, which is fine. The Scion feels more like an SUV, which I like They also said they could add a sun roof to either one!! I'm so tempted!! The price is also right. I don't want to pay more than $200 a month and both would work.

I like the Scion tC, xB and xD quite a bit. Which Scion were you looking at? The tC is nice girl car and quite inexpensive. I totally think the xD is the cutest, but John says it is too small. The xB's redesign is more attractive than the old model...but kind of fun to drive.

Not that you should care what I think but I hate the look of Scions. Honda is always a winning situation isn't it? They hold their value. I have a Nissan Murano but that might be too "family-ish" for you. I wish I had a car that was under $200 a month! I want a new car too!
