Sooo....my first mistake was

We decided to go purchase another car yesterday. Here in Okinawa you have 2 choices when it comes to buying a car.
1-Lemon lot (where people sell their cars prior to PCS'ing)
2-American Car Lot (usually run by retired military selling Japanese cars)

We decided to go back to the lemon lot for car #2 since we did not want to have to make car payments and plus you can really haggle since military members HAVE to have sold their cars prior to getting authorization to leave Japan to go back to the states. Piece of cake - we are so going to get a deal!!

We found a blue S-MX ( I'll show pictures later) that is small and cute, will fit the kids and I just fine and it ran great! The family selling this car had another black one just like it that they were selling too. Steve and I being the totally rational, thorough people we are thought "Hey, we should drive that one too, compare them and really see if we are getting what we are paying for. (Mistake #1)

We hop in the black one and I happen to drive it first...
[Sidenote: Why am I driving the car to "test-drive" it? I am no more in-tune with cars than I am NASA!]
I drive it down the street to a parking lot and park the thing and ask Steve if he would like to drive it back upon which his answer is "NO". (Mistake #2)
Neither one of us were really impressed with this one so I just turned right around and left the parking lot to go back to the lot.

When entering the lot I had a few choices to make one being to back the car in like he had it originally or pull it in. Knowing myself well enough to know that backing it in was probably not "safe" I decided to pull it in. (Mistake #3)

You see, the car has "aftermarket" ground effects on it (which didn't mean anything to me) but after I ripped it off and broke it, peeled off the paint and scratched it all up the people who owned the car were sure to tell us that they were "AFTERMARKET" ahhh... now I know what that means.

I pulled up too close and I could tell judging by the size of the eyes of the some random people who just happened to be standing in front of the parking spot that I parked in that it was not the best parking job ever. She mouthed "YOU BROKE IT!"

Sure enough, I did and Steve nor I both were real happy. Long story shorter, we offered to pay for the damages on a car we are not buying. We are in fact buying their other car so to say the least we could not "haggle" since I totally messed up their car that someone was coming to buy from them the next day. Steve and the guy worked it out to where the repair cost are included into our purchase costs so that we do not "owe" him anything once the final sell is made.

Humph... only me. (but my little blue car is cute!)
