What the Heck, Let's Try Asking Livejournal

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 [livejournal.com profile] tigertoy, [livejournal.com profile] grey_lensman, and Dale Y WINOLJ for their helpful advice. And all praise to [livejournal.com profile] 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. :-^)

[livejournal.com profile] 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.

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

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

[identity profile] grey-lensman.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
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?

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

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