Isn't She Lovely?

I have been in love with this car since 1987....the longest love of my life, especially for an OBJECT!!! Yes, I know this song is about a baby girl, but come ON. A few of the guys at school were talking about cars and trucks today. They are wanting Ford F-???'s ....not me. I want a retractable hard top Mazda MX-5 Miata Damn, isn't that a beautiful car. I chose blue to post here. The black is beautiful as well. Am I getting her? Someday, some way....yes. She's a 6-speed manual work of art. The perfect car for me. It's okay if you don't agree with me. That would be boring if we all loved the same things. At any rate, after listening to car talk at school tonight, I thought I'd see just how far out of reach my car is. First of all, there is no need for an extra car right now, much less another car payment. I know, I know. Then I read that right now there is a 5.5K cashback offer going on. Are they trying to KILL me? Absolutely. Am I going to act on it, HELL NO. However, it does remind me that i can continue to dream, and remember to stash cash instead of spending it......I'll just be closer to buying the car of my dreams. Dreaming is important. I certainly hope I can figure out how to get her before too much more time passes, because there won't be a huge gap in my life for hauling more than one extra person around. STILL. A girl gets to dream. I wonder if I tried to sell off half of my yarn stash if I'd have enough for a good down payment? Maybe that's a good idea for this summer. Try to ebay the excess in the basement and sell off some of the yarn I'm not going to get around to knitting. I've said it before, but if I hold a CAR up to the light, maybe that's the motivation I need. Never mind that one of our gutters fell off a couple of weeks ago, that my floors need to be redone and the ZILLION other projects that fall under the home ownership umbrella. It doesn't hurt to dream.

So, is anyone hiring? I'll warn you, I don't come cheap, but at any price, I'm one helluva deal!
