I finally got an estimate as to when I will probably get my car back...1 1/2 to 2 weeks. It will take that long to get the part needed to fix it, once they have the part they can be done in 3 to 4 hours. In the meantime, I am trying to figure out how to get to work. My roommates are awesome and are willing to drive me to places so the only problem is getting to work. It used to be that quite a few of my co-workers lived in Provo but that is no longer true so it makes it more difficult to find someone I can catch a ride with. I'm contemplating just renting a car, it would make transportation a lot easier but it's expensive.
On a more positive note: I test drove some cars yesterday! I started at the Hyundai dealership and drove the Elantra and the Accent. Both were good, the Accent is nice because I could get it in a hatch back, but the Elantra has a smoother ride and is a little zippier. After that, I made my way over to Toyota to try out the Corolla. Apparently, when the salesman saw two girls get out of the car he figured he could make a sale based on color as that was the only question he kept asking. I got really frustrated with him and only drove the car around the block especially since he wanted me to drive out a different way so I could check out the color on another car. He finally realized that I didn't care about the color (I had only told him that three or four times) and when he also realized he might not be winning me over, he decided to ask me what I was looking for and what I really cared about, he was a little shocked when I said the engine and driveability of the vehicle. The last stop was the Ford dealership. I wanted to drive a Focus. The only ones they had were the sport versions. It was really fun to drive and made me happy to drive, but the price tag for the Sport didn't make me happy. So from my trials yesterday, the Hyundai Elantra is at the head of the pack. This week I will do some more research and see if there is anything else I might want to try out.
