total amazingness

i paid off my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yesterday i wrote a check for $1502.48 (thank you federal tax return) and officially paid off the car. now i won't feel quite so enraged whenever the dumb thing breaks down, because at least now i won't be making car payments and paying for whatever transmission/brakes/battery related issues it may come up with.

and it has new tires, which only cost me $325 instead of the $800 it would cost if i was in northern virginia. this is the benefit of living in a town where the guy who owns the tire place not only went to high school with your parents, but your grandmother taught him in the 8th grade and his son is the college roommate of your cousin's boyfriend. there are definitely things i'm going to miss about small town life.
