I'm assuming the pic text I got was of it (it didn't actually deliver properly so I didn't get to see).

MORE PICS PLEASE!

Also, YAAAAAY!

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Nope -- that was a picture of a kitten found outside my workplace. Sent it to you and couplingchaos in case you wanted to adopt it.

And, YAAAAAY! indeed. I'm all jittery.

[sirendipity.livejournal.com]

Are the bushes in the front of your building growing kittens or something?

Regardless, unless she wants one of her own, I am all set with the cats for right now. I'm actually enjoying the ease of taking care of just one...especially since he isn't FAT! Hehe.

I'm all set on cats too, but thanks for thinking of me. There was much aww-ing over the cute pic.

And yay for your new ride!

The Olds is in my driveway right now. 8D

how was she?

and how was dealing with the mechanics?

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Got me home, didn't falter, feels good and stable. More weight and power than I'm used to, for sure. Definitely needs a steering box and tie rod ends: Now that the rest of the car is mechanically solid, the worn-out steering shines through!

Other than that, there's a list of little things that need attention, but I expected as much. Already contacted the shop, and I'll pester them about it until all is right.

Like love, you mean?

why terrifying?? terrifyingly awesome, I hope!

[rojagato.livejournal.com]

Schweet.

Mow, take me for a ride.

how does this post not include a gratuitous photographic display?

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Was too busy driving.

[popetom.livejournal.com]

This is Boston, you should be able to do both.

Fucking felicidades already. It is real.

Thank god you can stop postings like "mechanics say 2 more weeks," and proceed with "shiny object, you complete me; you had me at Hello."

Photos will not do it justice. Suggest you upload audio of the engine purring. Better yet, give me a ride. :)

Yay! I am too stressed out to form sentences.

[tristesse.livejournal.com]

I hope that the reason you are not online to entertain me right now is that you are out driving.

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

I totally was! I've just spent about $20 in fuel. WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[fusion-waste.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOO! Congratulations!
