So yes. Set out this morning to get a pink slip for the little Corolla. The first place said to come back tomorrow. As did the second. Made a booking at the second anyway as they were marginally more helpful than the first. Then I went to do a spot of shopping. Bought a Creative Neon Zen 5GB MP3 player and speakers to replace my stereo. I actually intended to buy a book. But this didn't happen. Also came across my grandparents by chance and had iced chocolate and banananana bread with them.
On the way home, I stopped at my favourite service station and put in half a tank of petrol. On a whim I went to talk to the mechanic about a pink slip. He said he could do it in an hour. Woohoo! Then he asked which car was mine. "Oh dear".. hmmm this wasn't going well. He had a look over the car, pointing out features of interest - the bald front tire (only one was bald), the cracked windscreen, the rust... "this is all sounding like it'll cost more than the car's worth to fix" I say.... "should I just buy a new car?". Yes. So I have cancelled my pink slip inspection and booked my brother to go car shopping this weekend instead. What an adventure!
