So, I got my new car today!!!

It’s a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am, pretty nice car if I do say so myself.

My new car

I’m prety sure I’m getting sick.  Near positive.  That’s not really the point of this post, I’m just tossing it out there to get extra sympothy   Did it work?  Good.  So, I picked my car up today from the mechanic.  You know, whenver a mechanic says “Well, the good news is, you don’t owe us anything” you should just throw up your hands right then and there.  TRUST ME.  Why didn’t I owe them anything? Well, because they are cool like that.  But, on top of that, my damned head gasket is blown.  Which means, either I cough up $1,500 for a new one, to repair a car that has 175,000 miles on it, or, I get a new (very used) car.  guess what kiddies?  I’m going to have to hunt down a new car!!!  Shoot me now, please…

Today, I went to the coolest place on earth.  At least the coolest place I’ve ever been to.  I went to Cabela’s.  Man, that place is sooooooo freaking cool.  And, it’s HUGE.  My dad took me, since my car is in the shop.  When you get there, you are greeted by a statue of two HUGE bear locked in combat over an elk.  It’s a sign of things to come.

We spent the first hour or so just walking around in there.  The thing that makes that place so awesome is that there is a pretty good size live aquarium.  There are fish of all kinds in there, that are all found in the great lakes.  Not only that, but, there are trophy’s from all kinds of animals.  (heads on the wall in other words) that line the entire place.  There are displays from Africa with a trophy elephant as the centerpiece, displays of deer of all kinds, and fox, and wolves, and elk, and moose.  The most awesome thing though, is the ENORMOUS mountain setup in the middle.  It’s effing sweet!  You can see more at the photo gallery on their site.  If you ever make it near Dundee, Michigan, check it out.  But, go early, because the place fills up pretty quick.  Not only is there all that cool stuff, but, everything from their catalog is in the store!!!  Man, talk about awesome.  I just wish I had brought my camera, oh well, next time
