And the new chariot's name is...

Serendipity.

Why?

Well, first of all, I've always liked the sound of the word... Secondly, the fact that I finished my day yesterday purchasing a new-to-me vehicle was, in fact, quite serendipitious (sp???)

You see, Ian found Serendipity for me, and it was a total fluke. He wasn't even actively looking, just thought he'd walk to the nearby Budget Sales lot to see if by any chance there were any new arrivals that screamed that they were made for me. To his own astonishment, there she was, my new pretty mare. The price was right, the financing reasonable, the car... well... it definitely is a car for me. It's a base model Hyundai Accent from last year. Ex-rental, but without obnoxious mileage.

And... did I mention that it's red???
