Car Shopping, the experience.

After my parents constant urging for me to get off my lazy butt, Philliam and I went to CarMax to do some research on what kind of car I should get. My parents were opposed to my CarMax visit, but I figured, since I want to start paying for my own car, then I should get a used one to help ME out. Parents... they are so bizarre. I did find some that I like, but they are way out of my price range and “need.’ This was at the Roseville CarMax, you know, just in case you have a good soul and decide to purchase something nice for me. Remember, I did have a terrible day yesterday. Well, I'm still feeling rather shitty today. =(

Those aren't the cars that I'm planning on getting, but WOW, right? I do want that Porsche Ceyenne someday. I even saw the 2007 Shelby that's posted on the CarMax website. Gorgeous, ain't she? Because CarMax had sold a lot of their cars that day, there wasn't much to look at when Philliam and I went there during the evening. I was hoping for some hybrid cars or any car that's good on gas. But I really want to hold on to my current broken car or buy the new model... urgh. After our car snooping, we were hungry little monkeys. We decided to visit his friend who owns a Thai restaurant in the area, but the problem was, he doesn't have her number in his new phone so trying to figure how the name, location, etc. was like finding a needle in the haystack. We even checked her facebook account to see if she posted her phone number on there, but all she had listed was her old disconnected number. So after an hour of searching and wasting gas, we decided to hit up downtown. It was a great idea because we had good 'ol soul food at Sandra Dee's and I saw a huge group of UCD students. It was nice. =) I took some pictures of the back side of a mechanics shop. I love downtown. I'm so glad I work in downtown. I'm still thinking about whether or not I should go to grad school in LA or stay in Sac. That's a topic for next time.

Who would have thought car shopping online would also be so boring, tiring, lame, makes-me-hungry, etc.?? That last picture is of me pretending to get into a car that I want. Can anyone figure out what kind of car that is? Since being back from my vacation, I have a lot of summer reading to catch up on. Someone signed me up for magazine subscriptions 3 months ago and I've been receiving them in bulk. I'd hate for the magazines to go to waste so I plan on reading them along with books that I purchased last year that I have yet to read. I can't wait when session slows down in 2 weeks! That means leisurely reading time. =)
