Good things come to those who wait

Two weeks ago, I learned a good lesson in patience and trusting God. I had to buy a new car because my Honda CR-V was starting to show its age in various ways. It was a toss up between getting a Scion tC and a Honda Civic coupe, the catch being that I could not get a Civic at a decent price in Northern Virginia because of the types of dealerships we have around here. Rachel told me that I should wait on buying a car, and that there was just something about the decision to buy the Scion tC that I had all but made that just didn't sit that well with her. So I prayed about it, waited, and ended up finding what I wanted about an hour and fifteen minutes away from where I live. I finally got the Civic coup a day later. $18,699 (well below MSRP), pin stripes, 17" alloy low profile wheels (like what the Si has), door guards and wheel locks. All of which came for free on top of it because the dealership that traded that car to the Honda dealership that I bought my care from didn't do a thorough inspection of what they were letting go. So, I ended up paying little more than invoice for my car, got probably at least $1,000 of free upgrades and it all worked out.
