A CAR CAN WAIT, FOR NOW

I was sharing the joy of getting a new car with some friends over lunch the other day and joked "I should take Dan Wheldon with me to the dealership. Maybe he can get me a better deal." (Back story: Dan became the first Honda driver to win at Honda's track Twin Ring Motegi, so he's quite the hero to Honda. He's also one of the drivers in the IRL who calls me by name and says hello when he sees me, so he may have gone with me anyways.).

That's when someone chimed in. "No, you should talk to T.E. (Honda's P.R. Guy)." I brought it up again as I talked with Dan Wheldon's P.R. guy and again he mentioned that I should talk to T.E. With that, my plans to have new wheels by the weekend have been put on hold indefinitely. Now the plan is to talk to T.E. during the month of May and see if he can order my car, and in turn save me some cash, but I may have to wait for a while.
