sorry...couldn't help myself.
Me, too. You go to the lot, look around, point to the car you like and tell the salesperson, "I want that one" in your best Andy voice.

Oh, no! I hope he's okay. We've had 2 near misses in the past 2 weeks....it's mating season, I think (I know you're not far from me) and there everywhere at every time. I grew up dodging them on the road, but it still freaks me out.

I have thought about car auctions , but is that a good thing?

Thanks in advance.
I'm curious about your budget. Are you unable to lay out $2000 for a used vehicle now and working on your credit until such time as you can get a good interest rate?
