So I drive home in Fiona last night thinking, “Yeah, this really is a pretty bitchin’ car.”  I tell mom the idea of selling it and she rolls her eyes at me.  She passive/aggressively points out that a couple months before I bought Fiona, we’d gotten me out from under the car loan on Miss Clio and then I, “…turned right around and bought another car.”  “Yes,” I replied, “but the Versa had A DEAD RAT IN THE AIR CONDITIONING!”  “Oh,” she said.  “I forgot about that part.”  I went on to justify my actions in buying Fiona by saying that even if Miss Clio didn’t actually smell like dead rat anymore, every time I got in the car that was all I could smell.  That car HAD to go away.  Did I need to buy something as extravagant as a Genesis Coupé?  Well, no… but it is pretty bitchin’.  I drove in to work today and let the car continue to woo me with its charms… and total bad-assitude!  I parked in the garage nose to nose with a gorgeous Cadillac CTS V-Spec Coupé and wound up walking in with its owner.  We stroked each other’s egos about our car choices and I decided, “Fuck it.  Living paycheck to paycheck isn’t so bad when you have a bad ass car like Fiona.”  Hmm, I guess I understand the “pimped-out ride in front of the ghetto housing project” mentality finally.  Anyhoo, I texted John telling him something to that effect as I walked to my office.  I checked my bank account and I did get paid last night so I fingered I'd pay some bills.  After the phone, house loan, car insurance, and two credit cards… I've got $50.00 in checking.  Yeah… Fiona, I love you, but you’ve got to go!  We'll be rolling to the Southlake import car show this Sunday sporting a couple “For Sale” signs.  John has promised to take some pictures so we can post it up on some Genesis fora.  No, I will not spell it “forums.”  Hmm, I just perused Craigslist and e-Bay.  Prices for Genesis Coupés are not as strong as I'd hoped they might be.  I might be stuck.  That is a bummer.  Oh well, eating is overrated.  Speaking of eating, I guess I'll call it a rant for a while and go to lunch.  Fuf!  I ate too much.  Ok, so we’re rapidly approaching 1500 h.  I have to take a screen and RCA cable across the street in a little while so I think I'm going to call it a week up here.  Monday is a holiday, so don’t look for a rant.  I'll tell y'all about the weekend’s activities on Tuesday.  Toodles.
