Dinner & a Movie: Borat
GC had band practice on Tuesday night; our Wednesday night show (Lost) has ended, so we went to see Borat in the theater last night. What a great, funny movie that made me a bit ashamed to share a nationality with idiotic Americans. Dinner was movie theater popcorn.
Speaking of idiotic Americans, I've narrowed down the possible replacements for Njiri to 6 cars. I went to the Honda dealership and test-drove Civics and Accords. The salesman was a condescending jerk. I'm smart. I didn't ask stupid questions, but he acted as if I were a moron and kept answering my questions with unrelated metaphors. Example: BA: "Is the 2006 Accord much different from the 2005 Accord?"
Salesman: "Yes, just as you and I are different people."
Huh? So one is a fat, grumpy jerkface and the other is a smart, quiet girl. I hope I can tell which is which. For the record, I didn't like the Civics; the 2006 Accord has some aesthetic differences inside, has an exterior brake light, different rear and headlights and a different trunk shape. I prefer the 2006 Accord, but there are still 5 more cars in the running. I keep procrastinating test-driving them because I don't want to deal with the salespeople.
Now, let's hear from an American who isn't an idiot, as far as I know: Red Momo, as the Kosher Gentile.
Comments
While I am not the Kosher Gentile, I have to put in my two cents for the Civic: My 1994 version of it (a Del Sol) just flipped 200K miles, and I couldn't be happier. regular maintenance is almost all it took to get me there, too. It's a wonderful car.

What a jerk! I'll bet he doesn't sell many cars. My mom is looking for a new car, too. We went to the car dealerships last night when it was drizzling and cold, b/c we knew the salespeople wouldn't swarm.

Ahh, my dream car in middle school and High School was to own a Del Sol - yep, wanted that bright green color!
:)
I am in need a new car as well. Ugg, but I hope to be able to put a few more miles on my truck and find a job before I have to search for cars

When I shopped for my Del Sol, jerkface salesman who only had a green one on the lot (which I didn't want) called me a couple of days later to ask me about it again:
Salesjerk: You still thinking you don't want the one we have here?
PFO: Gee, I dunno. Is it still green?
