Fannish Metro Transit Authority

I now own a new car. It was a big decision for me, but I'm pretty sure I made a good one. My paternal great-uncle, Merle, died last month and part of his estate was a two-year-old silver Saturn sedan. It is not my ideal car, for one thing it is an automatic and I prefer a stick (ha ha) and I like cars with a bit better gas mileage. But it definitely is a good thing to get a new car for a fairly low price, the equivalent of what the family could have gotten for it by selling it to a dealer. So yesterday I was very busy doing things like getting the title transferred and also doing my laundry out at the parent's house. Then I went and met a new friend at the gay Diedrich's Coffeehouse. (Andy is nice by the way, I might even be able to drag him into fandom.) So that's why there was no entry yesterday, I do hope everyone will forgive me.

Hopefully I'll be well enough off to trade it in on a new car in two years, maybe a Honda Civic gas-electric hybrid. Or maybe even a Toyota Prius, car of the future!

But until then my new car needs a name. My old Geo Prizm was my "White Ghost" from it's paint color and how it blended as an old but not too beat up car.
