Giddy as a Schoolgirl

    My Scion xA came in tonight. It arrived on the truck around 4pm, that's when I got the phone call, just as I was about to get in the shower. Very very glad I decieded to answer the call. They still needed to do the detailing and stuff, so I couldn't get it right then, but later. I got the VIN number from him so I could get the temp insurance thingy so I could drive the car. So I rushed through my shower and then rushed over to the insurance office and got stuff hammered out so I would be able to drive the car off the lot. Then I went to work, worked, and then PICKED UP MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, it took forever, but I have it now, and I'm happy. I'll post pictures later today, take them sometime when the sun is out. Got my nicer shifter nob on there and cruise control. When I first got in the car, I went to turn the key, and just before I did, my brain was like BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG, hello, you have a REAL car now, it's a manual, clutch in to start idiot! Body gotta get adjusted to the manual, didn't stall it, of course. Had to figure out the clutch to gas ratio on the first drive. Just have to get used to the car. Didn't get to drive it a lot, just from the dealer back to work, and after work, work to home. It definatly has some pep, I was going and then was like... 40 already, shesh, and I'm taking it easy to break it in.

    It's nice that it has a plug in for an iPod or mp3 player, too bad I don't have one... or any mp3's for that matter. Love the volume control and presets/seeker buttons on the steering wheel. Finally a car with a CD player, maybe I'll finally start to get CDs? Plus it has the feature where you can have the volume get louder as you go faster, since the road noise gets louder. And the hydraulics I have installed.... haha, j/k, like I'd do that. Can't forget the first aide kit!! Anyways... guess I should get some sleep, pictures tomorrow!

    TUMEO.
