New this century!

Some of you have already seen these photos of the car I want, but here's the follow up as well: My first car this century! PT update: https://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/d/tracy-2005-chrysler-pt-cruiser-turbo/7015904251.html   Drove to Tracy today [11/12] to check out the purple PT cruiser, and it's wonderful, [even under the hood, some of the parts are purple] and I made a down payment, and will probably pick it up this Sat. [or next Tuesday if  the checks haven't cleared]. I was going to have my old Toyota painted, but the Maaco in Antioch has closed! I was going to take it to the one in Fairfield next week, but don't have to since I'll have a new [for me] car.    And, for more serendipity, on my way back from Tracy, I stopped at my nearest-to-home gas station to wash the dirt off of my windows [between the smoky dust, morning dew, and bird do, they needed it]. The man at the pump across from me came over, and said that he worked at a nearby body shop, and, would I be interested in having a 6" square of white paint on the edge of my left bumper removed? "How much?" "$15," he said, "and I can do it while you wash your windows." "Okay," I said [that paint blotch had been bothering me for a couple of months], "It really needs a new paint job, but Maaco's closed," I lamented. "It doesn't need a paint job, it needs a 'clear coat.'" "How much does that cost?" "I can do it for $120," he replied, "Let me give you my number. Are you interested in selling the car? Call me when you are. . . ."   What a nice day! My front bumper looks great. My first time in Tracy, too.   Have I told you how much I like my sleepy little beach town? Often, and for good reasons.
