The Happy Ending

I finally have somewhere to put my moose sticker! I bought a car today--it's a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant and I LOVE it.

Ready for a really scary story? (If you are a small child, stop reading NOW because this will give you nightmares). I went car shopping yesterday, and looked at a Mitsubishi Galant. It was really the first time I had actually checked one out. The moment I sat in it I knew it was a Brynn car from the pearly exterior to the sunroof. Took it for a test drive along with my mom, over to Danny Barker (the best mechanic in Frankfort), so he could check it out and make sure everything was okay. Of course we weren't expecting something to be wrong, since it drove just fine, but it's always nice to have a professional opinion. He looked under the spare tire, at the doors, shined a light at the speedometer, and declared that it was..........A FLOOD CAR! The bolts were rusty, the engine didn't look great, the hood had been repainted, etc etc etc. I was HEARTBROKEN.

So I went home, looked online, found another one in Richmond and I went down there today. I looked, or probably just felt, quite the professional with my little wind-up flashlight looking under the hood and at the tires, under the seats, and everything Danny had showed me to look for. I think the salesman thought so too because I got a very good price. LOVE IT!
