One of the cars we went to go see yesterday was a Toyota Celica we’d noticed for sale along the side of the road. Initially, we’d thought the car was great – while it didn’t fit my original wish list (2 doors instead of 4, auto not manual, bigger engine than necessary), it was newer, sportier, cheaper and more fun to drive than most of the others. According to the sign, it was for sale because it’s owner is in Antarctica for a year as a chef at Scott Base…I’m embarrassed to admit now that that might be the main reason I even looked twice at it. I don’t think I was the only one who liked it for a silly reason, though – Arvind had already laid claim to the Indian elephant key chain before we even started negotiating.
Anyway, when we went to go see it yesterday we asked for a mechanical check and said we’d buy it if it checked out. We got the report today…and it was pretty much a mile long. I guess we should have known when the owner’s father said his son had thought it was a 4WD, and taken it off-roading. Soo…long story short, that one’s out of the picture. And this time, I’m going to stick to my original wish-list.
