acquisitions update, #2

Okay, yesterday I bought $3000 of furniture three-dimensional-sight-unseen off the web. Now, after actually visiting a car dealership yesterday and going that route, I have decided that I am instead going to try to go as far as I can toward the purchase of a new car while sitting at my computer. Brave new world! I have purchased a subscription to the Consumer Reports Car-Buying Kit, and now I poring over that. A central problem, I have already realized, is that I have absolutely no idea what kind of car I want--that is, not just do I have no idea what model of car I want, but I have no real sense of what attributes I would prioritize in a car.
