I'm getting a new car!

woot!

I'd been sweating the end of the lease on my current car because I was afraid they were going to lay people off where I work...and I thought I might get nailed.

Well...the layoffs came and went and I still have a job, so...on Wednesday I pick up the new wheels! Just had my vehicle inspection and they didn't find anything that isn't normal wear and use (or covere under the excessive wear waiver), so all's I need is the first payment.

I can't wait! excited

What kind of car is it? (I don't know cars, so apologies if it should be obvious by the picture.)

And congrats on both the car and not getting laid off!

Thanks. cool

Yup - it's an Acura. TSX, to be exact. It'll be my third, actually. They're just great cars - and perfect for the kind of driving I do.

It's a very dark red. Sort of the color of a bing cherry...if the bing cherry were iridescent.

Not my usual red...but red nonetheless. I always drive a red car.

Now the big question is...what will be the first song played in it? Very important, you know. hmmm

How would that be a jinx? lol

The last new TSX I got was my second, so I played Joy In Repetition. The car's been fine...

I usually like to have a little "message." So maybe I'll go for OK GO's White Knuckles - since that's kinda how I drive. lol

Yippee! woot! You could play Little Red Corvette and just sing Acura when Princey says Corvette, teehee!

Isn't red good feng shui or does that just apply to houses?
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

In feng shui terms, red keeps bad stuff out and good stuff in.

Congrats.

Question: Will you lease again, and if so, why do you prefer it to buying?
