"Remember, we don't _have_ to buy this one"

I have a new car.
It's a Daewoo 1.5 somethingorrather, 1995.
we got it for $3000, fool of a seller told us he was off to Melbourne on Sunday.
It was a decent shade of green, sorta dark misty grey/green.

The specs (including trivialities that I wanted)
- rearview mirrors both sides
- panic handles
- a door pocket (too big for the street directory to sit in nicely unfortunately but the first aid kit sits in nicely
- working cab light
- cassette player
- cigarette lighter in close proximity to cassette player (for car discman)

BUT
I don't need the cigarrette lighter because this thing has a
SIX STACKER CD PLAYER!!!!! *squeals*
I don't know how to work it yet but the guy who sold it said he'd drop by the instructions, and if not a geeky friend should be able to sort it out for me

Also has air-con, mmm, that'll be a pleasant new experince this summer
Intermittent wipers
A more powerful engine (sure it eats a tad more fuel but not too much)
nice upholstery, comfy seats
a covered boot

Engine got rebuilt in April
Rego has already been paid for 6 months...

it's so cool!!! There will be much showingoffness in the weeks to come.

*vroom vroom*

actually panic handles are the ones on the ceiling, oh my god bars are the ones on the dashboard above the glovebox in a real 4wd.

disclaimer: unless i'm driving of course, then theyre all oh my god bars!

Oki if you want to get that technical the handles on the ceiling are Jesus Christ bars... Depending on who is driving however depends on if they are Jesus F'n Christ bars or not :)
