Laneway VS The Rental Car

So my accedent was back on the first and I just picked up the cheque for my written-off car yesterday. I guess all the snow in the area has slowed the process down. Anyway, I've been using a rental car and I have to say IT SUCKS. The tires on the car are good for nothing. Everyday it's been a struggle to get out of my laneway and I have even been late for work because of it. I guess I should explain a little. My laneway is a hill, I get it blown out by the farmer with the tractor down the road, and if you have winter tires it's really not that hard to get out. But it seems the "all season" tires on the rental can't cut it. They spin and have no traction. It takes me 10-20mins just to get out of my laneway. If my laneway and the rental car were in a to-the-death match, my laneway would kick the rental car's poor tired ass.
Soon the agony will be over. I actually have a whole (much needed) long weekend off which must be used to buy a new car. (The rental needs to be back on Mon.) I went down to Toronto today and looked around. I ended up putting a deposit on a 1999 Toyota Tercel. Yes I realize this is rather sudden and I probally should have taken a bit more time but really I don't have the time or energy to invest in the car hunt. It should be ready by Monday which is good cause I can go to the bank in the morning to pick up a certified check for th car dealer, bring back my rental car and then be driven down to T.O. to pick up my new used car. Then everything will be "done and done" for work Tuesday morn. Wooooooof (sigh of exasperation) I'm glad tomorrow is Sunday. I really need a morning in church and time to just relax and come before the Lord.
