That's all my brain can say... the soundtrack for my day has been a slightly panicked bouncy voice in the back of my head going "beetlebeetlebeetleMEETINGbeetlebeetleARGH/STATSbeetlebeetlebeetle..."

I don't know why I'm working (well, except for the meetings and the stats, which did get done and which I think were even coherent), because at this rate I'm going to be mostly useless 'til Tuesday when I can go get the car.

This is a first for me (as if you can't tell)... I've bought cars before, but never online and never essentially sight-unseen. I've always done the haggle-em-down, walk-away, come-back haggle-down-more process.

I actually enjoy the whole haggling process... but this time there was no real room to haggle, and I was too far away to do so effectively anyway, since the haggling would be based on ThingsICanSee (since I can't exactly haggle sheer price since the car's already about $2k below NADA).

It's kinda entertaining and more than a little bit weird. I have an invoice... and I have insurance... but the car is still this semi-mythical thing off in the Land Of Texas.

But it's a cute semi-mythical thing in Texas!

I think it can be purdy and shiny. :-)

Oh, cool! What color is your Super Beetle? How much more do you have to do to it before it's roadworthy?

It's a baby dragon! And silver, too...ooh, pretty-sparkly!

Isn't it adorable?

The trip home should be fun... 900 miles of shake-down cruise. :-)

Oh! I heard from the developer yesterday... they're starting the rezoning and covenant-voiding processes for the neighborhood... things are moving along!
