Car stuff...

So, we went to the dealer on saturday, matt test drove the car, twice. I called my loan company, and got my loan all done, and got insurance, thinking i could take my car home that day...nope, because i didn't have my loan check IN hand. So now i have to wait until i have my loan check in my hand to hand it to them and then i can have my car.. not too bad but i was a little upset.. oh well.. hopefully monday or tuesday!
