I felt it was to the point where I would have to selloff my entire music collection to be able to pay a down payment on a used car. Usually in these situations I have MAJOR panic attacks - to the point where suicide thoughts would enter my warped mind, but I tried to stay positive and figured that after surviving March 2005, March 2007 cannot be that bad.

Well, with a little luck and some type of 'divine intervention' (Who knows ) we were able to buy a very good used car (2000 Ford Escort SE - A red, err, Maroon car - Sorry, but just like the guy in the Kurt Russell movie "Used Cars" I cannot drive a red car) for no money down, so at least we are mobile for now.

And how I didnt lose hope this time is a mystery I cannot figure out.

My mom always used to say and still does..."it always works out" - in my life it does seem that something always comes through even when things look hopeless and dark.

I'm glad you and Deb were able to get a nice used car!! That much be a huge relief for you...now hopefully you can get some relief from all your health issues!

my Mom said that too, That's why I tried to not panic too much.



But there's a good news/bad news ending to our story:

Good news: We have a car that runs and we can somewhat afford the payments - so we are not FUBAR'd (My music collection, for now, remains safe)

Bad news: Any chance of seeing Stevie Nicks/Chris 'Eye Sack" is out the window (Cant afford tickets now with a new car payment to pay)

Oh well, it's just a concert - 2-3 hours to help one escape the stress of everyday life - Not as important in the main scheme of things.

Edit: Who am I foolin' ...I'll find someway to be at that show, trust me...I am too stubborn and hardheaded to throw in the towel this early.
