So in a way that is kind of a relief. Or maybe it's fate. I don't know.
Poor roomie finally got up the guts to apply for a car loan. Of course, he went about it all wrong. He applied online for one from autobuytel.com. I don't think he realized that because they don't get a paper trail with lots of signatures the online lenders aren't likely to consider anyone with any black marks on their credit reports. I really think he needs to get up the courage to go face to face with a dealership's loan officer. That officer will find him a loan or die trying. It's worth it to him because his company wants to *sell* that car. These online guys have no good reason to work hard to find anyone financing, because the only product they have to sell is their loans, and if they don't have a loan for which I am qualified, they aren't going to send me to another company. They're going to flat-out deny me.
Poor roomie. I was starting to get my hopes up, because I think his car payments would have been pretty high, and he might have had to move in after all :o) I'm so evil.
Speaking of evil, I just read a review from the Associated Press of the South Park movie. I'm stunned to say that the review was actually good! Wow. Maybe I will go see the silly thing. I haven't seen any South Park since their internet debut. You know, the one where Jesus and Santa Claus are fighting over Christmas, and Brian Boitano saves the day? It was hilarious.
Today I'm bored because I work with the government and there's a holiday this weekend, so there is nothing going on. I think I have seen every single site on the internet regarding hume buying, remodeling, and finance. Mmm. Donuts.
