My Obsession

I have officially turned into a nut. I have never been more desperate to get my tax refund in all my life. I HATE sharing a car. (No offense Sissy). I have spent the past several weeks agonizing over first, what brand of car and then over what model. I made up my mind only to change it again. Then after I changed it the second time, I changed my mind a third time. First I was shopping for a Civic. Next it was the Honda CRV, now it is a Toyota RAV4.

I am so sick of looking at cars, checking prices of cars, looking at cars some more. I JUST WANT TO GET MY MONEY AND BUY A FREAKIN' FLIPPIN' CAR. Having time to carefully consider what choice to make is not neccessarily a good thing for me. I have never considered myself a wishy-washy person. Maybe I was wrong. I even have a three ring binder which contains internet printouts of all the vehicles I have been looking at. Then I created an Excel spreadsheet which contains what brand the vehicle is, what the year is, sale prices, mileage, and the name of the dealer. This way, at a glance I can compare vehicles and prices. I mean, is it really that complicated? Is it really worth all this effort?

I have NEVER spent so much time thinking about ANYTHING I have purchased. When I bought my Intrepid, I left my house that morning knowing that I would be coming home with a new vehicle. I didn't know what kind of vehicle. I really didn't have anything in mind except that I wanted more of a family vehicle. I went to the dealership, drove an Intrepid and bought it. I don't even think I test drove anything else.

Now I find myself comparing color, mileage, prices, brands, everything. I hesitate to type this next part, but here goes. I actually found myself wondering about cupholders. CUPHOLDERS PEOPLE!!!!! This is very disturbing to me.

The other downside to all this obsessing research, is that I am all jacked up. I can't wait to go shopping for my next car. I am SO excited. When I am driving around town I am looking at all the vehicles on the road, wondering what my next vehicle will be. Will I stick with the RAV4, or will I go back to the CRV? Could I possibly go another step backwards and end up with a Civic? Who knows?

This is what happens people, it starts by watching American Idol, next I will be an American Idiot. Incoherent, and unable to make the smallest decisions. I think I should pray.
