Day 1476

We woke up before 8, but stayed in bed until 8:30.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  After that we left to go to the car dealership.

Things didn't start off well.  I had to get on loop 1 at Slaughter because traffic was fucked up even though it was 9:30.  Then traffic was slow south of the bridge.  I took the toll road even though we paid extra.  We got there just at 10 as we told them we would.  We had to wait while the salesman dealt with another customer.

Eventually we got to take a test drive.  It went fine.  The truck looks and runs great.  It had 300 miles on it.  Apparently it came from Beaumount.  After that we went in to do paperwork.

Things looked up.  They gave us the correct price and took off this bogus $600 option.  Then we had to wait for the finance guy.  That took quite awhile.  We sat out in the truck and messed with soe of the buttons and switches.  The truck has as many bells and whistles as the Audi.

Eventually we got to talk to the finance guy.  There was a pile of papers for us to sign.  We also had to suffer through the additional stuff sales pitch.  We ended up buying a slightly overpriced extended warranty.

We were at the dealership for 5 hours.  It was 3 by the time we were done.  We were ungry, but we needed to get south.  We took the toll road, which avoided miles of traffic jam.  We still had stop and go for a couple of miles south of the river.

We stopped at the post office and then went to Cheddar's.  It was great.

When we got home I took Lucy to the mailbox.  The evening was watching football while reading truck documentation.
