So, I spent a very hot 2-1/2 hours this morning (it was 102 by 12:30) car shopping. Thus far, I have been pre-approved by Hyundai, BuickGMC, Nissan, DriveTime, Easy Credit Auto, and CarMax for a new car (well, new used car, at least). Unfortunately, none of them can sell me a car until I settle affairs with California and Oklahoma DMVs which will cost about $3k. However, a new car could be my present to myself by my birthday in October (it would be a hoot to drive into a dealership on October 10th with my old car and drive away with a new car).
