I got on autotrader earlier and found a 2003 Toyota Corolla S for $9,800. It has 23,000 miles...which made my mom happy. It's blue, automatic, 4 cylinder, 2 wheel drive-front, 4 door, with AC, p/windows, stereo, am/fm and a sunroof. My step-dad told my mom to call and check on it so I have my fingers crossed! I wanted a black one but I'm just happy to be getting another car...hopefully I can keep this one longer than a year...I really hope I get this car...if I don't I'll be really disappointed but oh well I can look more I guess...can't drive anything anyhow until I get the cast off my leg. But you all wish me luck on hopefully getting this! I REALLY WANT IT!!!! :beg:

Thankx tribe...I'll try not to fall but my sister has been leaving all kinds of stuff in the floor so it's an obstacle course to get to the living room now...I'll post tomorrow night when I get back from Huntington and let you all know how it goes!

One of the girls I use to play volleyball with messaged me on MSN and said that she found this quote and thought of me "if you survive a car accident you're lucky, if you survive another one you're loved!"

She's still not back yet, I thought for sure she would since her appointment was at 2.

Accounting for maybe having to wait for a while in the office, the actual visit, stopping to eat, travel time....maybe that is why.
Let us know something as soon as you find out Balla.

Hey sorry I haven't been able to post sooner, I got back tonight between 7:30-8. I didn't actually get called in to the doctor until 3 which knocked me off an hour. They took x-rays before they cut my old cast off and the doctor said the bones were healing very good so far. He took the stitches out of my cut I had on my leg and everything. He pulled out this long piece of guaze that was stuffed in my leg when I had surgery to hold drainage since they couldn't put in a drainage tube because of my cast... it made me sick to my stomach but they put steri-strips over the cut and wrapped my leg back up and put on my new cast which as Balla stated is hot pink. I have to go back in 4 weeks on the 24th to see. I'm still not allowed to put ANY weight on my leg. But right now I have to go pack to go to Prestonsburg for the weekend so I'll be back on later.

That's good to hear DT. Glad that you are doing well.
Everything seems in order so far and you are healing VERY well so keep it up.
Have a good weekend in the Burg.

Oh don't worry tribe...I am...lol I'm at Balla's right now though, we went to the lake earlier and fed the ducks. I wanted to go to the football game, we parked and everything but Balla was afraid that I'd fall or something because of wlaking up hill and up steps.

DTfan

Oh that's alright 15th, we didn't really do much. We decided against the game for the reasons I stated above so we just got El Azul's to go and went back to Balla's.

How is the new car coming along DT?

DTfan
10-02-2005, 06:15 PM
Don't think i'm going to get that one...neither of my parents are making any attempt to call the guy about it so....but I should be getting one sometime inthe near future...My mom said after we find otu what the insurance company is going to do then we'll start looking for real.

DTfan
10-03-2005, 11:08 PM
Lol yea unless they like take it away from me because of my wrecks...lol... I mean I ran over someone (they jumped on my hood...THEIR FAULT), rear-ended someone and totaled my car...I don't have a good driving record...lol although I don't think the first one was put on there...I hope not anyways

Don't get your hopes up DTfan

DTfan

The police report ruled it off as being his fault and such so... and I didn't get a ticket or anything for it so...

BallaBaby
10-03-2005, 11:50 PM
I was talking about getting a car soon

DTfan
10-03-2005, 11:51 PM
Oh...I'm not...I don't want to be disappointed. I've learned in order to avoid that to not get my hopes up over anything.

The best thing to do is not rush into getting something.. that's what i've done on my past 4 cars.. and they've all turned out bad..

DTfan
10-04-2005, 09:54 PM
I'm not rushing... I can't drive until my leg heals so...and even when the cast comes off I'll have to go to physical therapy for it no doubt where in the end it'll make 6 weeks that my leg will be straight and the muscles will no doubt be gone so...I say it'll be awhile before I can drive.

DTfan
10-10-2005, 09:00 PM
THIS JUST IN... the insurance company isn't paying my car completely off, we have to pay $1200 which is like 4 or 5 car payments...so I won't be getting a car until march or april..
