Car shopping, what a concept! But I had a bit of luck.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
Ok, we do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

I have friend I have done business with for some number of years. He is now a cars salesman at a local beach VW dealer. I let him know i was interested in a later model truck, and asked what he might have on his lot. He came back that he had a nice 2007 Toyota Tacoma, offered to come get me and take me to see it. It was very nice, the price he could get for me was good for its year, accessories and and condition and by chance, Mr. Zen was looking for a Toyota truck but was interested in the larger Tundra. I have been quietly poo pooing that idea due to it hugeness and v8 gas eating engine. Now that we have to make a decision right bloody now, he is willing to go see this truck tonight. I have done everything so that if he wants it, he can drive it home tonight. So wish me luck, and maybe I will have done a good thing.
