Default Thinking about..

There's a 98-02 Firehawk (haven't gotten any specific information yet) sitting on one of those small used car lots in my town. Nice Artic white color. I'm thinking about picking it up later on today if I can swing the extra cash. I just get a bad feeling in my stomach when I see that amazing car sitting there.. I'm just hoping it's not an M6 or I won't be getting it home.

Confucius say; "Beware of Firehawk sitting on a small used car lot."
Just be careful, that's all. A nice one wouldn't be sitting there.

I went and looked at it today. It's a 2002 A4 (exactly what I want) 74k miles with headers and gears already. The lot doesn't in house finance and the bank won't finance a car older than 7 years. And with a baby on the way, the rates the banks that will finance are insane! I would have to get rid of my WS6...
