car shopping

YAY! I'm so relieved. I get to get out from underneath this Jeep and get something on my own, that I will OWN, that will help me with my credit, that doesn't come with such a huge tie with family members. This is great news.

Except that I hate buying a car. Dealers make my less-than-perfect credit seem so like I have done some horrible thing that I should be punished for. Oh well.. I'm out from under this blanket of guilt!!!!

One thing I have definitely learned from this experience: Do NOT enter into any business deal with family members. It's nothing but trouble.

Off to do drive bys at car lots...
