Biased car shopping

Buying a car is an experience..

Buying one with completely biased person, not fun!! So when I am totally desperate I ask my “friend” to assist me. I make sure he knows I need him at my home at 830am. This way we can have a full day of driving and searching.  Lets note that at 1030 I get the text OMG So sorry on my way…1230 show up.

Shrug it off, and away we drive to hunt these cars. I know my limit and I must find one, because the car is a gift to be delivered Monday…It is Saturday!! 

After driving to 4 different towns, call multi personal numbers, and check literally every used lot in the 3 surrounding counties we have narrowed it to 3 cars.  Dodge -Super cute car, not in the range, needs some work, make offer…denied. Leave..Next car GM - nothing needs done I like, he hates ..Off to final choice - Ford, make offer they accept! SCORE.. Send father to check it out, he hates it. And finds the DUCT TAPED on mirror I managed to miss.. So now it is going to be the GM product. All the fire in hell are delivered to me because my friend has wasted his day, his gas, his opinion doesn’t matter….BLABLABLA..Oh wait ears perk – did he just go there and say a shady thing about your father??

Up to that point of my father “is everything & him nothing”, I took the temper tantrum in stride & attend that internal board meeting of my voices..Voice 1 says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Apologize for making him feel this way, but it was not your intention. Voice 2 says, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say."  Simply ignore the fact your friend is out of line!! Voice 3 is saying in an annoyed voice, " What on Earth do we care what he is feeling like! He only likes a Ford. He will never like anything but the blue oval label.” Man oh mercy!!  Voice 4 pipes in, "You don’t need his crap, he was late, he only likes Ford, He always yells…GURL, this cat ain’t your friend, he is a person you incidentally met through mutual friends & we owe them a bitch slap for it! Total miss on their hook up advice!!” (once again voice 4 seriously has perpetual PMS & grudge holder issues) Voice 5 comments, in it’s snarky way says “apologize to calm the situation, then once alone advise him we should just not be “friends”

POP! Voice 4 is today’s winner, meeting over, he just took a blow on my Daddy…Proceed to Wig out in the most ugly girlly fashion.  Hand in air, scream in a high pitch voice, cry, and jump out of his truck order my 2 poor unfortunate wards out as well.  Tell him good bye and never look back…Until the next week any ways.  Voice 4 has not stopped singing naughty songs for a week now!

Update on the car shopping – the GM was a huge hit, My child it was bought for loves it, the financing agent was pleased, aka my parents are super pleased with the look and safety and price range..
