A Few Updates

So it looks like I can actually afford to buy the house I like, though there is still some question as to whether I will.
I dropped my car off early this morning and got the loaner.
Turns out that my clutch is 65% worn out, which is not worn out enough for my warranty to cover replacing it. However, if I were to wait for it wear out completely it might do so after the warranty has expired anyway, and, with the warranty work that's being done today, if I had the clutch replaced I'd only have to pay for the parts, as the labor is essentially covered by the warranty work.
It's till $300, but I suppose it's better than gambling on it wearing out later and costing me upwards of $1,100.
On my way back home from meeting with the finance guy I stopped at Wal-Mart and realized that it was close to noon, so I called up Scott to see if he wanted to meet for lunch. I had him invite Jamie as well, and we met at Uno's.
I decided to put off my grocery shopping until tomorrow, as, after being out and about since 7:30, I just wanted to go home.
I may have to go out again, though, as there's a chance (I'm guessing it's a slim one) that my car will be finished today.
I think the loaner they gave me is the exact same car they gave me last time I needed a loaner. It's definitely the same model, but I'm pretty sure it's the same car, too.
Anyway, I'll post a lengthier entry later.
