I'm getting a new car!

Numero Uno on my 101 in 1001 is to buy a new (to me) car. That is coming to fruition very very soon. It's all been kind of whirlwind, actually.

About a month ago, a huuuuuge hail storm (literally hailstones the size of baseballs) blew through the area. A lot of cars have bad hail damage, including my boss's 2007 Saturn Ion. It's all cosmetic, but she's taking the insurance money, paying her car off, and then using the rest for a down payment on a new car. Which means she's selling hers.

To me. Yay!

I was able to sell my car on Craigslist this week and will buy hers officially next week. I am super pumped to be getting a newer car with nothing mechanically wrong -- only some cosmetic damage, but if you've ever seen my current car you would know how much I don't care about that. Jerome even said it's a better car than his. Woo hoo!!

I don't have any photos of my new ride yet, but here is the stock photo:
