2 cars by Tuesday?

So S4 and I went down and visited the family-friend-with-used-car-lot and did some test driving.
First a white '95 Tercel that was underwhelming, and then, on basically a whim, an '88 honda accord. Seems rusty but trusty... reminds me, basically, of the car that azure and I shared in high school. A little crappy and older, but definitely zippy and worth what he'd charge us for it. And a manual transmission.(yay!) Our family has long loved Hondas, so test driving this one was kind of like coming home again.
The price is low enough that we could cough up the funds for it right away. We may have driven it home but for a dodgy gasket. That, he said, can be taken care of by his mechanic and we'll likely be able to pick it up on Tuesday. So, 95% sure we'll be a two car household again early next week.

Unfortunately, this means no road trip to visit Omaha...

Hondas are by far the best cars that I have ever owned-- a manual tranmission is great for them-- they are cheaper to fix that way. Good Luck!
