Drove the car today. It was a pig. I figured in my head “ah… What the hell, I need to grow up and buy an adult car…” so I sit down to run some numbers. I was told I’d be getting a deal, so my initial offer was $10k cash, my neon, and gtp, in trade for the g8. After having every person at the dealer drooling all over my neon, The guy comes back and says $17k. I told him 12 at most, he came back with 17 firm. I shook his hand, and wished him luck selling it. I took my keys and left.

I really didn’t want to spend 10k on that thing, I can’t justify getting rid of 2 cars for a slow daily that looks sort-of cool.
