New Car!
There is more to life than music. Today I bought a new car. Well, a used car, actually, although it's new to me.
I was going to buy a Toyota Matrix for its headroom, mileage, and versatility, but a little research on the Web showed that the Pontiac Vibe was exactly the same car with a Pontiac logo slapped on it. I was able to find a loaded 16-month-old 2006 Vibe in excellent condition for $13,900. That's slightly under Edmonds' recommended dealer price of $14,694 (to the extent that that means anything) and $2,000 less than the equivalently-equipped Toyota Matrix ($15,922).
As with music theory, sometimes it pays to find the commonalities lurking just beneath the surface. ;-)
