Unnamed
I did buy the car advertised, and I left Raj by way of part exchange. I am currently kicking myself for forgetting to retrieve Raj's road tax - and for not noticing that the new car (currently unnamed) had none.
Unfortunately I have left the registration documents at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bacony's house so I can't tax it immediately. I wouldn't have taken them there except that I had managed to lock myself out of the house and thus had no way of dropping them off ... very annoying, I haven't locked myself out of anywhere in years and then I do it three times in a week. (My keys live in my pocket, so I don't normally have to think about whether I have them or not. Last week I forgot that I'd changed my trousers for decorating, yesterday they'd fallen out of my trousers as I rummaged around my unworn trousers for my phone, and today I put them down after removing everything of any interest from Raj.)
New car is doubleplusgood. Salesman was inordinately dodgy - he appears to operate out of a unit in a self-store complex, cars lined up in the car park. But he offered a three month warranty and the MOT's good until August so what the heck. As long as it's not asamharber MOT it should be OK.
Cons:
Pros:
Now I just need to work out how to remove the stereo (it needs some of those prongy things) and I can fit the CD player I salvaged from Raj. It's going to sound so good out of these speakers. Woot!

- Slight underrev when idling, means I have to remember to gas a little when engaging first/reverse to avoid stall
- Indicator and wiper controls are inverted
- Tape player ejects tapes on power off
Pros:
- Car no breaky
- Remote locking and alarm (should probably tell the insurance people about the alarm)
- Much better speakers
- Air blowers have strength controls (ie, you can turn them off)
- Proper sized spare tyre
- Vroom vroom

You are the Sun card. The light of the Sun reveals all. The Sun is joyful and bright, without fear or reservation. The childish nature of the Sun allows you to play and feel free. Exploration can truly take place in the light of day when nothing is hidden. The Sun's rays fill you with energy so that you may live life to its fullest, milking pleasure out of each day. Such joy and energy can bring wealth and physical pleasure. To shine in the light of day is to have confidence, to soak up its rays is to feel the freedom of a child. Image from:
