Bliss, Rollin' VIP
My slow-motion search for a car continues.
However, I did manage to get my loan squared away with my lender. However, something was lost a bit in translation, and they've given me a loan fill-in-the-blank check to take to the dealer, authorized up to $50,000, way more than I asked for.
Now, my lender is also the company that insures me, and they know damn well what I've driven since I was 16 years old:
1) 1978 Olds Cutlass Cruiser station wagon (with the tail-gunner seat, beeyatch!)
2) 1974 Ford Gran Torino
3) 1972 Ford Thunderbird
4) 19something Geo Metro
5) 1988 Olds Delta 88
Now what, precisely, about that driving history screams "$50,000 car"?

You had a 74 Gran Torino?!?! Was it painted like the Starsky and Hutch car?
I don't know why the fast food workers association is so upset about that commercial. Most of them probably dream about being music stars while working, too. I'm sure they're currently not living their dream.
Ah, see - you're in the know. :) I actually watched the film remake just to see the car.
Sadly, mine was "Harvest Gold" or somesuch. I had to sell it cuz I was dirt poor and blew a couple of pistons driving through Montana when Montana didn't have a speed limit (read: I drove a long time at 100-110).
What's surprising is that your cars were awesomer than mine were:
86 Dodge Caravan
87 Honda Accord
96 Toyota Tercel
How vanilla.
I think the lender took pity on you and decided that after such a string of vintage cars you deserved top of the line.
I drove a Pontiac Phoenix--three on the tree--and I loved it until it was stolen. :(
ACW - Yup - you win. :)
Laurie Ann - Nice! I haven't seen a Phoenix in ages....
