Closer

Its not quite official...but its pretty close. We did a timed acceleration test, and it just about matched what the minivan does, so that's okay. And the daughteroid's color guard pole, which we brought along, fit inside, no prob. The color is sandy -- I think the buzzword is 'Sandy Pearl' or somesuch. It does not have the electronic map, since neither of us was willing to pay about $1500 more for it, though that would have also gotten an upgraded stereo and some leather. It does have the backup camera, which my daughter likes -- in fact, she said that she totally thought we should get the car, period. We thought so, too, so we signed the papers saying that we intend to buy one. Had our bank been open now, we could have done the deal right then, and truth to tell, we could have transferred the funds electronically (Press one to spend more money than you should for a car you don't really, really need....), but we didn't want to do that. So, Monday night, we'll all troupe back there, take a deep breath, give them the big honkin' cheque, and hey, presto.... Then we've just got to sell the Buick, for which the ad starts Monday.

Kewl!
