New (used) (free) Car

so sister christina IM'ed me this morning (transcript below for posterity). free car, from steve resource (now i get the nickname). steve had given someone a van last year...that person had this thing sitting around for a year or so not being driven. steve said he'd see if he could find it a home. 'stina gets in touch, yadda yadda yadda, mark and steve show up this afternoon with our new wheels.

and, baby, are they hot or what?



Yeah, that's right, 174,354 miles.



but seriously folks, this is going to be purty meaningful. sea and i don't need to take kt to work everyday, or pick her up. also, a major obstacle to me finding a job is worked out. after all...we're in the boonies; there is no public trans or walking options to anywhere.

i'm excited...that is all.

my IMs with the middleman:
