I've been shopping for a car for the H.S. dawter. Having a lot of ties to the American auto industry, it was killing me that a Honda Accord seemed to make the most sense. Enter a Costco/GM incentive for a $700 cash card. My son works for GM, so, it was killing him I was shopping Honda. Also, dawter is VERY ecologically minded.
All of a sudden, between the Costco incentive, and the attractive $7500 tax credit for an electric car, a Chevy Volt started looking attractive. Found one in Austin with an amazing discount as the dealership put a few miles on it using it for a loaner. After all the deals and discounts, half price from MSRP. Noice.
So abnormal being normal in this crazy life of mine, looks like I am flying to Austin on Tuesday. I have a very dear friend there that I haven't seen in 10 years. HE is ecstatic too. Whee! Gonna be a LONG drive home, though.

Funny how you wake up thinking a day is going to go a certain way..
