Things that are good...

Today was good. You can stop reading there, otherwise, details:

Talked to a couple places about car financing. Despite my average credit rating (it's just empty, not negative) I think I'm gonna land a 5% APR.

Then I realized that while I've been wanting an STI for years, I have yet to so much as sit in one let alone drive one. I drove over to the local Subaru dealership. They didn't have any STIs, but had a beefed up WRX that I test drove. If I wasn't a fan before, holy shit am I now. I think a came a lil just starting the engine. The clutch is waaaay different than the Mustang, so that threw me off some, but even the non-STI is fast and fun. Now to find the STI that is everything I want so I can buy it.

Good for you, just remember your payment will be Car Loan, plus tickets, plus insurance increases. :)

lol. Surprisingly my insurance will only go up about $30 a month for a car that is 10 years newer with a new MSRP that is twice my existing car. As far as tickets... you don't get tickets for going 0 to the speed limit in 2 seconds ;)

You can actually. Jack rabbit starting isn't the official name (obviously) but almost pealing out at a stop sign will get you a ticket.

Yeah, obviously I know you can still get tickets. I've driven with the pedal to the floor from 0 to the speed limit for 13 years and never had an issue, I just lay off enough initially so that the tires keep their traction. With the new car, AWD prevents peeling out, since you don't lose traction.

Exibition of Speed out here is as bad as DUI, iinm. But getting to the speed limit 'quickly' is my favorite thing to do, cuz it is a gray area.

On that topic, my buddy drove me somewhere in his Mustang manual tonight... shit do I love accelerating. damn!

Sleeping from about 9pm to 6am. That doesn't happen for me very often.
