the 4th

We had a last minute 4th of July Buffalo wing party last night. Amritz, Sarah, Ruben, Sarah, Devin and Charlie came by. It was fun and afterwards we sat up on a hill past the freeway to watch six flags magic mountain’s fireworks as well as Valencia Town center’s because Castaic Lake’s fireworks cost $$ and are usually super crowded and not worth the traffic afterwards.

Also went mini cooper s shopping. Talked to about 4 different people and it seems there’s a reason Cars Direct doesn’t sell Mini Cooper’s direct because the dealer cost is very close to the suggested retail cost, so there’s not much room for a bargain. And automatic/steptronic mini coopers are even more difficult to find. Especially used.. so I’m looking at new for now and I have an auto loan approved with a super low rate at Capital One.. just waiting for the right car to come up now and ready to bargain.
