Thanks everyone. 8)

So did you do anything exciting and crazy?

Nothing crazy here, although I had to deal with someone "selling" (and by that I mean lying about it) my birthday gift out from under me.

Thanks, Olds. :)

I guess I should elaborate on what I missed out on. I was going to go out on a limb and buy a '91 Firebird for $500 bucks. According to the ad, it ran and drove (sans a broken speedometer from a transmission swap, which I found out when I called) and was missing only the headliner as the result of someone starting the work to fix a small patch of rust in the roof (it was a t-top car). I couldn't pass it up. I found the ad late the previous night and called 8 am that morning to drive 30 miles out of town to check it out and, more than likely, take it home. I told the seller I'd get everything together and be there about noon. When I called when I arrived in his area, he told me someone already bought the car, which really pisssed me off because of the lack of courtesy to let me know ahead of time.

As it turns out, the seller decided that he was asking too little and relisted the car a few hours later that night for $2,000. Again, I guess that's understandable, but he should've let me know first what was going on before I drove out of town to check it out. And, as far as I know, it's still listed for sale on Craigslist.

It was for the best anyway.
