We Drove That Car as Far as We Could, Abandoned it Out West...

I think I've found a way out of my horrible 5 year lease on my Malibu. I still rank that decision as the worst I've ever made in my life, leaving voting for George Bush in the 2000 election far behind at #2. I'm going to pay dearly for that little decision, (the car that is, I won't comment on #2) but I think I've found the best way out of it, thanks to the fine folks at Gage Motor Mall.

My next decision is whether to buy a cheaper new car or go with a little bit nicer used car. I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow. Who knows, maybe I'll still be stuck with it, still.
