J-Unit visited me. With her by my side, I blew money like there was no tomorrow. I bought a wool coat. A WOOL COAT. I work and spend the majority of my time in Santa Monica. SANTA MONICA where its in the 70s in November. When the fuck am I going to get the opportunity to wear a WOOL COAT?

That's not the worst of it. I actually bought two. I know, I know. I haven't stumbled on a day to wear one of them, I'm not so sure both are going to be used. I have walked around my bedroom with them on though. But I don't think that counts for anything.

So imagine my surprise when we went to the BMW dealership to kill time beefore her flight and I didn't walk out with a new car. I know...shocking.
We saw this beautiful, absolutely gorgeous 5 series BMW sitting on the lot. Supposedly the owner totally went to town and got every damn option available. The only thing left to do was put an M5 engine in it. His company shipped him overseas, and the car couldn't tag along, so there it was on the lot. For 10k under what he should have paid. GORGEOUS. Too bad I wasn't in the market for a sedan.

Too bad I didn't have the nearly 60k to spend on a car. So I do the next best thing. Tell everyone I know about it hoping that someone will bite.

And someone does! One of my coworkers.

Legalmisfit: OMG it was specatular! It had everything on it-its just one step below an M5. You've got to see it! Its silver, only has 500 miles on it, and is going for 57 and change.
KT: I'll swing by this weekend and see if its still on the lot and take a look at it.
Legalmisfit: I get a ride in it if you get it!!!! I'll even call the dealership right now to see if its still there.

I call the dealership. The guy tells me there is no silver 5 series BMW on the lot, and there hasn't been one on the lot for a while. I say, 'Hell no-I was just there a few days ago and it was on the lot. Maybe it sold.' To which he replied, 'No-I'm looking on the computer and a silver one hasn't been sold within the past week.' I'll skip all the minor details, but basically, after 5 minutes of a somewhat heated argument, he tells me that the car he thinks I'm talking about is actually white. And going for 59k. The 2k part I don't give a shit about. But seriously, how do I mix up silver and white? I chalk it up to the fact that it had just finished raining and the whole car was littered with raindrops. Made the car look silver when it was white. This is nothing short of an egregious mistake, so I txt J-Unit.

Legalmisfit: Dude-that 5 Series was silver, right?
J-Unit: Ummm...no. I think it was black.

This makes the whole silver-white debacle look petty, right? So I had to go back and tell my coworker, KT, that no, it isn't silver. No, it isn't white. It's black. He replied with something I'm not going to repeat but along the lines of feeding him misinformation and being blind.

Hummph.

Oh-by the way, I look hot in my wool coats. Well, as hot as I can possibly look seeing as how the important parts are completely covered.
