Default Finally Has Occured!

This all started today at around 10:50, during my nice little walk to my car from my History 1314 class. I felt something vibrating in my pocket, it was my phone. I dig into the pocket, grabbed the phone, and flipped it open. Caller ID didn't pick up the number, so I had a quick epiphany. "Answer it or not?" Well nonetheless, I picked it up and it was my relative/salesperson from Gillman Honda. He said good news and bad news. Sales person "Good news, the car is in." My eyes open up in surprise yet gratified. Sales person "Bad news, the car has to be driven about 15-25 miles from the allocation where the trade was going to be made with a current s2000 in our lot. So I quickly asked can I come and pick it up with you. He says "Absolutely, that was my next question." So the only downside is whether my old man and woman will be willing to go in today to do the final papers or later this week. Nevertheless I'm indeed one happy man. I never knew how much joy and bliss one can feel within a short time.

Sorry if the situation was long, I wanted to make it sound the way I encountered it. Thanks.

It's Monte Carlo Blue......






Actually it's Silver/black. I'm sorry Master Jedi, t'was the only color my parents and I can compromise on. I wanted black/black, they said no, to hot for summer time and they are superstitious on black cars, ie: "black cats" ordeal. My parents said they like yellow, blue, and silver. So I went with what was the color I felt more in control of, therefore Silver was the choice.

To answer Mark's question beneath: Grades are great, but it's the speeches I made to my parents about growing up. How i've had two and half years of no tickets nor accidents. I guess College English has paid off . Or better yet Psychology helped. I basically persuaded them that i'm in dire need of a new car.

It must suck to be one of Mo's friends. Silver S2000's for everybody. No, I'm not bitter. j/k

Congrats on the car. It's time to go through the Customer-Pickup-Checklist.

Make sure they left the spring spacers in, I've heard that they've been removing them on a few S2000s recently.
