Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome.
I have been reading up on the fun stuff and all the experiences of other members to get a feel. And I have to say that I have faced some of that eve without a car. For example, why would you want a muscle. It doesn't work in snow.
Just cannot wait to get done with my present situation and start a new life with the car. My GF got pissed at me tonight when I said this.

She said you are more interested in buying that car than marrying me and starting 'our' life. Had to deflect to be honest.
