I need some wheels

Someone should really warn you how difficult it is to find a car.

You look and you look and you finally find one that fits the majority of your criteria (aesthetically pleasing, not a beater car, a small SUV, etc.). Then you really get down to business and negotiate over the price. Finally, you have your mechanic check it out and he finds that there is $100 million worth of work that needs to be done.

AND you are back to stage 1. Looking for a car.

I'm starting to go insane.

So here is my plea:

Dear craigslist, edmunds, auto trader, and all you rip-off dealerships out there,

Please just find a car for me that isn't $20,000 or hiding necessary repairs and isn't nasty ugly. Please deliver to me my the end of this weekend. Thank you very much for you time and consideration.

If I don't find one soon I'm going to run up to the Vespa store on Nall and purchase a little scooter. I could rock the helmet. It may take a little longer to get to work, but hey, I'd be riding in style.

Good thing we found "the" car since the Vespa store is no longer on Nall.
