Wow, what a godsend friends can be! After scouring Craigslist nearly incessantly for the past 2 weeks, looking at car after car, junker after junker, and scam after scam, I finally decided to send out an email to everyone we know here in Georgia, to see if any of them were selling or knew someone who was selling a car at a decent (sub-3000) price. Some good friends of ours, Brad and Lanie Beth, work with a guy who just happened to be selling his car. Better yet, his in-laws were buying him a new car, so he didn't need to make any money off his old car, so he was willing to give us a sweet deal on it! So after all our searching, driving, praying, frustrating (can I use that as a verb?), and despairing, I'm driving off in my own 97 Honda Accord, with only 125,000 miles on it! Woo-hoo!! No more driving my motorcycle at 50 miles an hour on a 32 degree morning! No more mooching a car off Bart, Seth, or Debbie to go pick up lunch!! No more helmet hair!
Perhaps the day will come that I will lament being able to drive a motorcycle to work everyday, but that is certainly not this day. Amen.

No more smelling like exhaust! Thats my favorite...
You sold out, my friend. The worship guy is supposed to be on the bike; you're the rockstar of the staff. Let the suits drive the cars and minivans - you should stick with the whole Purple Rain vibe.
And what's the deal with the 32 degree weather??? Aren't you from Chicago? (You're officially a southern boy now)
I'm just joshin' (8th grade term). Glad you found a car, and, you can't go wrong with a Honda!
Peace,
Derek
