Up here in the wilds of Nebraska, I am pretty far removed from Jeff, Vinnie and Gina. Luckily I have a coworker, Doug, who is my "car buddy". Doug, his wife and I go to car shows, we sometimes spend a day polishing a car here and there, we talk about Top Gear, you know, all the fun stuff.
But Doug has a bad habit. He looks on Craigslist for Mustangs and Mustang parts and when he finds something cool, he sends me the ads. that pretty 1965 in the pic above was today's offering. Another was a 2007 Mustang Shelby GT 500.
Now, I am not noted for an overabundance of impulse control when it comes to things like this. This car is only about 45 minutes away. I could probably work it into my budget. It is killing me not to! But I have firmly told myself I only need one car payment at a time, and Cricket is not near paid for yet.
Still, as much as I seem to have myself talked out of this car on the surface, it will be a couple of days before I am totally over it. I adore Doug, but some days I just want to throw things at him over our adjoining cube wall - LOL!
