cars. so many cars.

I've been spending so much time looking for a new car the past few weeks that everything, including blogging, has been taking a back seat. And I so hate shopping for cars. I hate the entire process- the research, the salespeople, the narrowing down, the decision making, the test driving, the photocopying of my license, the calls and emails from dealers afterwards, the money.. all of it.

We encountered some nice salespeople, some pushy salespeople, some rude ones, etc. Unfortunately even stuff like that has a place in the the decision of where and which car to buy. There was one salesman that took two calls while he was on the test drive with us and then talked Jason's ear off about his job. The gas light was on the entire drive, I never got to above about 35 mph because of all the traffic, and the drive was over before I knew it.

And I actually genuinely detest have the salesperson in the car while I'm driving it.. especially when they are directing me turn by turn. Like a driving test. Like a horrible, nerve-wracking drive test in a car that you've never been in before. And I'm paying more attention to what they are saying about where to go than I am to the car I may or may not buy. So, hint.. I'm probably not going to buy it then.

But.. thankfully, I'm pretty sure the whole nonsense is almost over. As in, I've decided on the make and model.. I just have to find "the one" now. I think.
