This thing is great.  I love it.  I'm coming to it every year for the rest of my life.

Pro rated car warranty cancellation

So I have this warranty I paid extra for with my old car.  I am gonna cancel it and get back my money.  But I don't know when.  I kinda want to wait until I can confirm that the loan on the new car has gone through and my loan on the old car has been paid off.  I certainly don't want it to go through and have the money go to the dealership.  I want that money.  But every day I wait the value of the warranty goes down.  I figure I will do the conservative thing this time.

Cirque de sole is kinda lame

But this ice skating one they have is legit.  I'm enjoying it a lot.

Breakfast sandwich is the truth.

I'm all set to make myself breakfast sandwich for the foreseeable future.  I got ten English muffins, a bag full of sliced up summer sausage and a dozen eggs.  Life is good.

Car maintenance isn't as important with an electric car

Here's a post I tried to publish before I bought my electric car.  It never got published because it didn't like the pictures I attached.

I recently purchased a car.  I initially intended to get an older car to get me through the next few years until the electric self driving Chevy Bolt I deserve exists.  I went with a not that old certified used 2016 Nissan Versa for 10,500 and then paid an additional 1500 for the bumper to bumper warranty upgrade.  One of the reasons I made this mistake was due to the lack of maintenance records of the cars I was looking at.  So I decided that whenever I do anything with my car I am going to blog it.  I filled up on gas for the first time.  Here's a picture of the odometer and receipt.

I bought an electric car

This happened two weeks ago.  I took a bath on my old car.  I bought it for 12,000 and only got 7,000 on the trade in.  So not great.  But for whatever reason they really wanted to unload this thing so they dropped the price so the total after the bath on the trade in was 13,700.  Not a smart financial decision but I really wanted this car.

Why am I talking about it two weeks after the fact?  Cause the bank balked at financing a 14k loan on a car worth less than 12k and was only willing to finance 12,800.  The dealer just had to eat that difference.

So it was still a bad move, but only to the tune of 800 and I feel great about it.
