Yes mofos "the Ricardo" has scored a win, big one, just in the nick of time!!!!
I get to keep my fucking car!!!!
The evil car dealers tried to scare me and get me to bat $400 a month for a Toyota Cor
olla are no more!
The crooked company, known as Center One Financial, who brought my loan off and changed all the rules without my knowledge or consent is no longer in the picture!
I no longer have to beg the fly by night instant credit companies who were worse than loan sharks working for the mob.
I didn't have to hit my friends up for money!!
I did not have to sell crack or pull off a dramatic heist out of films like "Ocean's 11" 12 or 13!!!
I GOT THE FUCKING MONEY THROUGH A REPUTABLE COMPANY DESPITE MY HORRIBLE CREDIT AT A BETTER INTEREST RATE THEN I EVER THOUGHT!!!!
Not to sound like a bad commercial but thanks AIG. And I thought you guys only did car insurance!!!!
CELEBRATION!
The original plan was for us to take a west coast coworker out into downtown Stamford for fine drinking and dining. I saw it as an opportunity to celebrate!!
The city was my oyster and I was going to live it up as best I could for a weeknight!
We began with a deliciously prepared meal at the P.F. Chang's Chinese Bistro where I devoured succulent lettuce wraps while sipping some top notch sake which is not Chinese but Japanese but who the fuck cares. I wanted it, I got it.
The atmosphere was great and the place was jam packed and the inside had some nice touches as you can see.
Afterwards we were off to the run of the mill Black Bear Cafe for some beers and meet up with another coworker who got out later. We all had a good time.
I could really focus on conversation, I was on a cloud. For the first time in a long time I felt a sense of security. That is not easy to come by in my life. This car was a symbol of me getting back on my feet. My car before that was never really mine almost became my grave at a very dark point in my life. But that won't be discussed here.
To those of you who wanted me to lose the car....fuck you!
To those of you who don't care about this story......fuck you!
To those of you that don't have anything positive to say right now......fuck you!!!!
Catharsis
For now I have the car.
For now I can sleep a little easier.
For now the knot in my chest is gone.
For now I can catch my breath and brace for the next crisis.
Life is swell.
Just swell.
Note: Yes that is me on top of the car.
