Test drove the car, love it, and committed to it. Super nice guy and is willing to hold it for me until the payments come in. They're supposedly picking up the car today, then I'm supposed to get an e-mail notice and that's when I tell them to put it on my debit card. Once that happens, I'll go to the bank immediately and transfer it into the business account. They're willing to give me the car then, with that first payment, then when the second one comes through, which should be Friday or Monday, I'll tell them to deposit the second check, which I'll leave with them. The car drove really great, it's slightly less mileage and there's not a mark on it. Black. Looks like the old car may not get picked up until tomorrow, but  it still could be today. As long as that first payment comes in by Friday, it's fine. They're getting the title on Friday, too, so hopefully that payment will come quickly, too. The price was actually close to what I'm getting so all I'm really paying are all the fees, etc. app 1800ish. Excited to get it. Have to decide whether to keep the plates that are on it. The letters are KZT and normally I don't like Z but if I can  figure out a positive meaning for KZT I might keep them - if not, they'll get me new plates and I may just go that route. All I can think of so far is Kimmel's Zeitgeist Tremendous or Kimmel's Zillions Thrill or Kimmel Zealously Thankful. Those are fine. Others feel free to chime in.

Well, if it had been KTZ, that's Kritzerland. Could you convince yourself KZT would do the job?

The license plate on Petey the PT Cruiser is three numbers and BFF.....which is not something I chose.

The license plate on Dennis the Smart Car is three numbers and EIK....which is real estate jargon for Eat In Kitchen.

The best license plate number I ever had was 222 DBL!  222-Double!

It's weird about being able to keep your license plates, though.  I've never heard of that. :-\

I was surprised we didn't keep our old plate when we purchased a new car.  You can transfer the plates yourself if you wish to do so.

I had no idea.

Sounds like the car is a DEAL.

We have had a '57 Thunderbird, a '58 Thunderbird, and a '59 Thunderbird in the extended family.

ALL of them were very low to the ground.

Speaking of continuity, one thing I really liked in California was this:

I had moved from L.A. to Chicago, which I thought would be for a much longer time than it actually turned out to be, but I ended up being moved back to L.A. after just a year and a half. So I went to the DMV to get a new drivers license. Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was DELIGHTED to find them giving me back my former license number ... which will be burned upon my brain for eternity.

And why is that, you may ask? Either the delight or the burning upon the brain?

Because in the 70s and late-80s, when that took place, one's DL # was used as check writing I.D. - and more - everywhere. You didn't pass a check at a store or anywhere else without writing your DL # on it. It was a way of life. I suppose if checks were still a thing, this would still be the case. But one came to know one's DL # by heart. I last lived in CA in 1989, but you could wake me in the middle of the night in 2024 and I can still rattle it off.

And my CT one? I sort of know it, but I'm never secure in thinking it's right and when I need to give it to someone in person or online, I have to look at it to be sure. Whole different way of life.

I also knew my WA state driver's license number, but the last time I had to renew, they gave me a different number because they changed the format of the number.  I hate that. :P

I don't know my number-lol

Great news Bruce.  I think you will like having a back up camera.

Does the car come with a waranty?

I seem to be reading shorter books this year.  Goodreads said my longest book, All the Colors of the Dark) was 608 pages.

Not surprising is that I only gave one book 5 stars this year.  I rarely give books 5 stars.  I think I gave more books 4.5 stars this year than usual.
