Well, it looks like I'll have a new car, starting on Wednesday. It'll be in my mom's name, and she's paying for it, but I'm the one who's going to be driving it. It's a 2004 Optra 5 LS (I think I got that all correct). I did a test drive today, and it handles very, very differently from my current car (a 1995 Buick Century), and is of course much smaller. My biggest gripe is the visibility: the rear window is quite small, and the blind spots on the sides (for lane shifting) are quite large. On the other hand, it's fully equiped with Cool Stuff (tm), including a sunroof, block heater, CD / MP3 player, power windows and locks (the kind you lock with your key), etc. It's also a hatchback, which means that even though it's a lot smaller than my current car, it's got a decent amount of trunk space if you fold down the rear seats. Oh, and it's blue. I like blue.
So that's the big news of the day. It should be ready by Wednesday afternoon. I'm still a bit weirded out by the whole situation -- I didn't expect it to happen so fast. But happen it did, so there you are.
