Old car, new old car

Monday, 31. March 2008, 08:03:56

As my good old VW Golf III Diesel didn't get the inspection seal anymore (and repair would have cost far more than 1.000 Euros) I decided to buy a new old car with seal.

After some search and test driving I ended up with a Subaru Legacy build in 1992 (so it's even older than my Golf was). I gave my Golf away and got the car for 850 Euros. Afterwards it took some days of fixing the corrosion, some minor scratches and a small repair for 80 Euros, but now it looks well-tended and shiny. It costs me less taxes and ensurance (about 400-500 Euros per year) so it will have financed itself after 2 years.

Wow! A wise decision... sounds like I'm slowly getting grown-up. HORAY!

This car is indeed very nice. Offers enough space for a whole young family. Now all I still need is a wife and a couple of children.

You are not accidentally close to Cologne, are you?

Hmm... if we take the whole universe as point of reference, you are extremely close to me. (Hihi, sorry I couldn't resist. Please excuse this small joke.

)

I'm an Aries...^-^ is it close to you?

Absolutely. I'm a Gemini, which means we share the same ecliptical quarter. It can't be much closer.

Your main stars (Hamal and Sheratan) are 63 lightyears away in average, mine (Castor, Pollux and Alhena) are also 63 lightyears away. Close enough, huh?

Nah... I'm just a professional wikipedia user.

Some basics I still know from my childhood, when I was totally stunned by the beauty and perfection of the universe.

"astronomy"
Feel welcome to ask me anything you want. In fact the basics of astronomy are easy to explain and understand. The best situation is under a moonless nightsky... sounds romantic and it is.

Many star signs base on an interesting story, that can be told while watching the dark sky with its countless lights.
