It's just tough. I work Halloween Horror Nights as well as Gamestop, I don't have ANY time between now and when I have to take the car back. I just got home and I have to leave around 2 to make it to work on time so I have virtually no sleep as it is. I didn't know if sports had HIDs or not. I've really only looked at the car once or twice (obviously I was happy with my car so I wasn't shopping anymore).

nope and I feel horrible for the OP.
I think that your best bet at this point is to take the grey one. I personally would wait, but with the credit issue etc, you might want to take what you can get. Plus since the dealer and bank are working with you, it seems like a cool thing to do. Good luck. Ciao.

But with the whole swapping thing it seems pretty awesome, swap as much as you can.

Yeah the situation sucks. I've grown really attached to my car and I feel like the new one won't really ge ta chance with me. But they're willing to work with me and between my lack of credit and my lack of time, I have to take what I can get. I'm swapping the interiors for sure. I'm a little nervous about the whole thing, but I think I can pull it off. :P

Good luck. Try to bring some friends with you to help - never know when any project is going to take more work than you think it will.

I'll let you guys know for sure.

Oh and A. I love that photo of picard anf B. you have to understand, I have about 7 hours a day where I'm not driving or working.. and those 7 hours are spent sleeping, so I tend to speed read the posts and hit the door. Sorry I missed a keyword. :/

O.o Morristown! We had rivals there. I grew up throughout Blount county. I played football for William Blount High. Not sure how familiar you are with the schools and such in the area. :P

Have a good night everyone, it was a late one for me... exhaustion's kicked into high gear and it's another long night at HHN before I get to go deal with the dealership. ><

Why not take a day off (from at least one of your commitments) while you sort out your car issues? After all, it is fall in the northern hemisphere, just the right time of year to catch the "claw hammer congestion".

Blount County is Maryville and Alcoa, right? I never really gave a **** about (high school) sports, only college and pro, but I am aware of most of the regional schools because it is all over the news and local radio Friday nights.

Haha, you're exactly right. :P I don't know anybody who's from that area anymore, so it's cool to be able to talk about it again.

We're going today to get everything sorted out. Get this, I was at sears getting a new toolset that would let me get to everything when they called and let me know that the mechanics there at the dealer are going to help me swap everything. They apologized again for the issues and he's trying to work the owner down a bit more on the price. They really are working hard to make me happy. I'm going to take lots of pictures. See you all soon.
