My new NOT winter beater


russian rocket

Recommended Posts

Well I am finally home from my trip. After working a 12 hour night shift, I got off at 430 am Friday, woke up my amazing wife and had her take me straight to the airport. I landed in Providence, Rhode Island at 1045am.

After looking over and test driving the car, I knew it was for me, so I bought it and at 3pm I started my long drive home. Ran into some stand still traffic in New York and some slick/ snowy roads in Pennsylvania.

At around midnight I figured it was time for a small power nap, 40 hours with no sleep is an interesting experience. It's not necessarily that you are tired but your body starts feeling weird.

After waking up i finally finished the long drive home and couldn't be any happier. It was all worth it!

^^ totally understand. When I was looking and bought out of state I had to explain to people that I wasn't looking for a car I was looking "the car" and being it's my money I have a right to be ultra picky :)

 

Great find! Look pretty dang clean and love the low miles.

Sister In Law has bigger balls than you do. :lolguy:

 

meh, i have had my fun with manual cars over the years and dont get me wrong, they are still fun but... for a daily driver, they start becoming a bit of an annoyance, especially in stop and go traffic.

plus i heard the automatic cts-vs were faster than the manual lol

Nice car, like the color. Congrats.

 

If I lived somewhere I couldn't stand to drive a manual daily, I'd move. Or find a new job. Or both.

Congrats on your purchase. Definitely a good choice for your winter beater, as the dried road salt spray will hardly show on that color.

 

And I wouldn't let anyone give you grief over your preference for an automatic. Thinking like yours will definitely help you make a smooth transition to self driving cars in the near future and on to a network of 100% transportation pods on a grid shortly thereafter. :thumbup:

 

You're just way ahead of most of us.

haha funny thing is, first place i went to when i got back into town was a car wash. i got out and the rims looked horrendous from all the road salt, but the rest of the car still looked really good.

 

and thank you for the compliment, i love being ahead of the curve :D

Loved it many. I'm in a hunt for a cts-v wagon myself.

 

you missed out on a 2011 thunder grey wagon that was for sale in Columbus a month or so ago. it had only like 34k miles and the guy only wanted 35k for it. he had it sold before i could get my finances together.
