Five years ago, shortly after deidrecorwyn and I broke up, I found myself signing papers that said I agreed to be responsible for paying a lot of money to Wells Fargo bank in exchange for them letting me drive their car around.
A few days ago, I made the final payment on that loan.
Today, I got the title in the mail.
I’m terribly pleased about this. 🙂

Hooray for having your own car! I had to leave my Lilith in Texas and still really miss her; they’re terribly useful. 🙂

a) You should be pleased. Congrats!
ii) Now you and the lass can start putting away some of the money that went to monthly loan payments towards a down-payment for whichever of you is going to need a new car next. (Or on a house?) Aren’t cycles wonderful? 🙁
3) I gather pink slip has something to do with paying off the loan? To me it means either a layoff notice or being involuntarily confined for psychiatric treatment. Hopefully you’re not a candidate for either of these last two. 🙂
None Of The Above) Hmmph. The Comment Form has a Smiley Face to click on to chose one of a limited number of not-to-my-liking-at-all subject icons, but no drop-down list to select one of my user pics. I wonder what will show when I post this.

And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that ain’t enough to make you flip your lid
There’s one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy… o/~
From the Beach Boys classic “Little Duece Coup”. In California in the 50s and 60s, the Certificate of Title for an automobile was pink.

Yay!! My car was totalled nine months before I paid it off, and I was so disappointed. Go, you!
