Boring...thy name is Taurus

Okay, I'm ecstatic, and I am on the road to Dullsville.

I got a new car today. I got a super sweet deal on a used car that's not only roomy, it gets great gas mileage and I bought it all by myself. YAY!

I bought a used Ford Taurus. And I bought it because my husband was about to buy a van:

Hub: "Hey, I'm gonna buy DRW's white van! It's only $400!"
Me: "The 20-year-old van that billows out smoke and has a 'Donna the Buffalo' bumpersticker?"
Hub: "Yeah!"
Me: "Uhhhh...and what are you going to do with said van?"
Hub: "I was thinking about painting it all psychedelic with like, a name or something on the side and a whole lotta jamband stickers!!!!1!!!"
Me: "..."

So, I bought the car. I feel like a real grownup. And REAL dull.

Here's the Dull Definition of the Day for Wednesday, August 24, 2005:

es·top·pel (ĕ-stŏp'əl) n. Law. A bar preventing one from making an allegation or a denial that contradicts what one has previously stated as the truth.

Congrats on your car buying success! That van sounds like it will be a hoot!

Van of the Living Dead(head)

"That van sounds like it will be a hoot!"
A hoot, if you mean a potentially embarrassing oil-leaking faux hippie van full of Jerry Garcia Band stickers and giant tie-dye patterns brushed on with housepaint? Yes, then a hoot it was going to be. ;-)

Not that I mind real, honest-to-gosh hippie vans. I think one of the most beautiful things I ever saw was a giant hippie school bus with two VW bug bodies welded to the top for use as sleeping quarters. Wow.

Luckily, my Dullmobile has taken the last available parking spot at my house, and the van was sold to a very deserving pair of newlyweds.

I bought the car from my brother-in-law, who is a pre-owned car salesman. He's never sold us a bad car; we still have the last one we bought from him, and the engine JUST WON'T DIE!!

I may have to shoot it to put it out of my misery. Nahh...it's paid for.
