What the Heck, Let's Try Asking Livejournal

[beamjockey]

I have purchased a car.

It's in Elmhurst, at the dealer's. I have a key. I could drive it off the lot even when the dealer is closed.

I need a ride from my house in Aurora to the dealer's in Elmhurst, so that I may drive the car home.

Either today (Sunday) or tomorrow after work would be useful.

(Thanks to tigertoy, grey_lensman, and Dale Y WINOLJ for their helpful advice. And all praise to drsulak, who loaned me a wonderful car in time of need.)

You couldn't have asked yesterday? I was in Naperville then, and would have loved an excuse to meet. Now I'm back in Schenectady, and can't help. Dang!

Sorry, it's a bit too far for me. :-^)

ON MY WAY, KEMO SABE!

daddy_guido is on his way in his robotic van. I owe him one. I also owe Sir Tim Berners-Lee one. Yet again.

I'm scratching my head trying to remember what advice this was I gave you. Please tell me it was a long time ago, rather than that I'm losing my marbles.

It was a long time ago. I asked about the Toyota Matrix and you recommended it. I wound up getting a 2006 Pontiac Vibe, which is the gaijin version of the Matrix.

Ahh, a answer just after I post. What power! IMO a very good choice.

[grey-lensman.livejournal.com]

Ah! I am enlightened.

(Yeah, I was scratching my head too...)

And yeah, the Matrix/Vibe is a great car for getting stuff around while not using tons of gas.

What color?

[beamjockey.livejournal.com]

Burgundy. Maroon. Magenta.

"...a 2006 Pontiac Vibe, which is the gaijin version of the Matrix."

For future reference, did you take the red or the blue pill?

[von-krag.livejournal.com]

I hope it's a Delta 88 w/a Rocket power V8? So what did you get anywho?
