New car!

I can’t believe I now own two cars. We bought this last night, a 1999 Nissan Tino, ’cause it’s not only almost 10 years newer than our previous car, and almost of this millenium, but it’s a lot safer, and being automatic will be easier to park on the hilly free parking street next to work. 

We’ve nicknamed it the Santino, for obvious and not so obvious reasons. 

Took it for my first drive today, and it’s weird - I’m used to driving an ancient manual, and it was so much easier - except the constant worry of how wide it is, which I’m sure I’ll get over.

Nicer stereo too - though no iPod/cassette input, so I’ll have to get an iTrip or make a whole lot of compilation MP3 CDs. That’s harder than it sounds, cause most of my stuff is in AAC (iTunes) format.

Just have to get rid of the old warhorse now… any takers? 

I have Parker all afternoon to myself, ’cause Tariqa’s out counting votes in the election today. If he’s good, I should get some recording done.
