I'm getting this waiting thing down to a science. Here are my ideas (feel free to add on!)...
(1) Strain your neck while driving when you *thought* you saw an 'x' out of the corner of your eye.
(2) Become really good friends with the sales people at Acura (but not too good - you still want to get angry if they start charging you over MSRP).
(3) Learn all about the geography of the 4 closest states to where you live when you call around trying to get an 'x' sooner.
(4) Angst over getting the fender flares and running board or not.
(5) Mark the # of days left on your calendar (but feel shame when anyone actually sees that you are doing this).
(6) Try to explain to spouse just why you are obsessing on a car (but then think to yourself, 'It's not just *any* car!')
(7) Clean out your garage to make room for the 'x'.
(8) Establish an absolutely firm new rule with the kids - no juice boxes or snacks allowed in the new car....never....ever....
(9) Establish an aboslutely firm new rule with the spouse - no sodas or french fries in the new car...never...ever...
(10) Do a web search on anything remotely to do with the 'x' even though it might be a review from 2000.
(11) (this one is true) Have a nightmare one night that my husband bought me a Buick Rendevous instead - and Tiger Woods personally sold it to him (I remember getting really concerned that Tiger was selling cars instead of being at the Masters....
)
(12) Check this website on (at least) a daily basis for any incredible words of wisdom, insight, or just to see what other obsessed 'x' folks are doing!
...That's all I can think of for right now! Any other additions?
