Smile 9 hours to buy a car!

Just got my car two days ago and I love it. It's a blue tl type s no navi and I spent 9 hours shopping for it which included getting my bid crumpled up and thrown away, driving 250 miles and then going back to that same guy who was so rude to me. And to think I woudl have settled for another 200 bucks off at that first place which he gave me later but woudl not give me 6 hours early. Car salesmen, gotta love 'em. So far I have done 800 bucks of aftermarket improvements to the car: 350 (spider spikes), 450 dollar yakima roof rack system for my bike and snowboard. Damn I could have gotten headers for that price!

Damn, that's nuts. I emailed the dealership I bought my CL from with an OTD price I wanted. They came within $500 of it (my price was invoice and that was in the summer when the car was selling better!!), so once they agreed to it, I printed the email, went in, drove the car, and bought it. The longest part was the 3 week wait for the car to arrive from the factory. Oh, and I hear ya about modding it. Everything in my sig was done within the first 2 weeks!! Congrats on your car. Nice color choice too.....

spider spikes

These are the alternative to chains since we can't use chains or cables on our cars. You can check out the other post i had on them in the forum.
