I got a new car *bouncy bouncy bouncy*
I picked it up Friday before disappearing for the weekend. Currently it has something like 61 miles on it.
When I drove it home, I kept banging my head on the steering wheel saying “I can’t believe I got an automatic.” I have locked myself into an automatic for the next 10 years. I am sure it will be fine once I get use to it but for the next couple of weeks or so, my pride will be learning to live a different way.
There other freaky thing is the lack of lights directly in front of me. I am use to being able to see the turn signals and windshield wipers levers at night but now I can’t. Serenity has a center display and the speedometer is to the right and above the steering wheel. I got use to that fine but the lack of any light from directly in front of me keeps making me think I didn’t turn my headlights on until the brain can reboot and process where the lights are.
She’s a beauty and she fits. In moving my old car, I realized that the rear view mirror is at eye level. In Serenity, it is actually above my eyes. Ahhhh Joy.
The plans for Serenity:
Serenity, herself:
I look at these pictures and I get the My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult song running through my head with the words “Box on wheels”.
It has everything I want. I was tempted to get the security package ($500) just so I could have remote entry (the key clicker thing). When I was given my keys, there was a clicker near them and I thought they forgot that mine was one without that feature. Nope, it is standard. It is just the bells and whistles that are missing. Weeee. I have fun making Serenity’s lights blink when I walk up to her. The CD player plays MP3s and is happily crunching on a disk I made of most of my old favorites from my College years. I even get a little first aid kit in a leather manuals case and three free oil changes. The seats fold all the way down making a flat surface from the back to the front dashboard. My sales guy didn’t even know that. I saw it in a picture and messed around while waiting for him to get paperwork. That means I can sleep in there if I need to and I can fit a 5′ coffin if I drop the passenger seat. The skull rosary is already on the rear view mirror and I picked up my 1.5′ paper coffin last night to live in the back. Me? I’m not a goth. ^_^
I am very happy with my new baby.
NOW I get it, you are going to pull a Harold routine on it and make it into a SUV hearse. That explains a lot.
Congrats!
YaaaaaaY!

You didn’t know that was the plan? I have been bouncing about it since Nov. You must not spend enough time around me. Guess what one of the sources of the name Serenity cames from. My DVDs should show up this week or next. And they are the present from you. Thank you, Fox man.
