OK . . . a little venting . . .
I am signing the deal for my G next week, I have 2 months left on my lousy Grand Am GT lease so I have been attempting to ensure the thing will be returned without causing me anymore $$$$ . . . and:
1. Last week a friend was driving my Grand AM (me in the passenger seat). . . managed to puncture the gas tank after running something over on the highway.
Needless to say $200 for the tow back to where I live and $475 to fix the tank . . . not so bad $675 CDN all done. BTW I could never blame my friend for causing the damage . . . he did not have to drive my car . . .yada yada yada.
2. Today, while in Toronto . . . due to reasons which could have been avoided, a tow truck side swiped my front end
. . . tore my front left suspension/wheel from the housing and caused damage to the front bumper and of course front left fender, throw in the damage to the left door (minor) and now I am going to be looking at $2000 plus
to fix the damn thing.
So I am thinking:
1. Should I just keep the Grand AM in the garage after it is fixed until April 1, 2005 when the lease is up????? Or drive it and risk more damage to the wonderful piece of plastic that it is . . . ??
I mean I want to add some pieces to the 2005 G35 6MT at purchase time and right now I am eating through cash like Paris Hilton in a Jewlery Shop.
2. Should I cancel the purchase of the G35 because obviously I can not handle the responsibility of driving a vehicle with out damaging it . . .
BTW I am 31 yrs Old, self-employed. This choice is my least favorite!!!! And least probable.
