buying a car with dad and brother in tow…

…who of course both know sooooo much more than me and can’t agree about anything.

Conversation example

Dad, can we go and test drive a few cars today? Daughter, wait till next week until Mr Driver is back so he can vet them. Son says, I don’t trust Mr Driver.

Dad, They are all NCT’d and taxed and there are six in bray I would like to look at. Daughter dear why would anyone nct a car, tax it and then try to sell it? I don’t know dad, can we just go and see them. They will sell you a pig in a poke says he.

Eoin at this point is still asleep being a nocturnal animal generally. I see trouble when we actually go to test drive these cars. Eoin figures he knows more than anyone else about anything and so does my dad. Sigh

I really just want a really cool car, an old one like the ones I see around mexico. From the 70’s, a big wide ford, or one with curvly shaped body bits and old wooden dashboards. Cars are really boring these days. There is a volkswagen beetle for sale here for 7000 euro. My god, they are two a penny in mexico. Everyone drives one. They are amazing little cars, they just go and go and go and go, up mountains and down hills and still keeping on going.

    wow just like i was when i bought my first car,although in those days most cars were very cool with long tails on the 70 model CADILACS my favorite car in those days. recomend checking out the toyota celica, these are cool cars with 5 speed shifter and are very fun to drive,but atlast its what grabs your eyes you know that car that just seams to speak to you,over and over drive me drive me,kind of like the new one i have SHE is a big beast of a truck all silver with curves of crome and a big turbo charge apon her diesel motor,and she always whispers to me when i cruise down the highway,
    So yes best i can suggest listen to the one that is whispering to you after all your the one who must be pleased,
    just remember special cars have there own personality

  2. Angela Said,

    i feel you. cars today all look the same and none of them have personality and ALL of them are overpriced! gimme a good bucket like an old boxy buick. so what if it has a lil rust here and there, it prolly has a lot less miles on it than that shiny 2003 grand prix in the used lot!
