Meh, I think I'm at the point where I just want an extra vehicle so that if
something happens to one of them, I'll have something else to drive. Plus,
that'd allow me to store my Dak in the winter and not rack so damn many
miles on the thing. I've been shopping passively here and there for
*something* that I can drive as needed. I've actually been looking at older
(89 - 92) Honda Accord 2 coupes too, those things run forever and you don't
even really have to change the oil...

Not once I graduate college. I'm just about done dealing with snow, once I
graduate I'll be relocating to the great warm expanse of the southwest. At
this point I'm thinking about AZ, TX, or just about anywhere else in the
southern states. Somewhere that doesn't get much colder than 40 - 50
degrees is what I'm looking for. Don't get me wrong, if I find a great
opportunity in the area here, I'll probably just stick it out and buy a
house, that's really what I want. As time goes on, I'm more and more
dissapointed that I didn't decide to go for the house as is. Cohabitation
with other people isn't all I'd hoped it would be, I've got an obnoxious old
man that lives above me who just loves to nose his way into my business and
complain about every damn thing. Just this afternoon, he left a note on my
truck because I'd backed into my parking spot. It took every ounce of
restraint to not write a vile note back to him telling him what I thought of
his note. Anyway, yes, I'm looking to ride the hell out of it in the summer
months. I don't plan on driving the Dak unless it's under 60 degrees or
rainy once I get it.
