It isn't entirely a luxury. About a week ago, the temp agency I work for told me they had a job with a law firm about 20 minutes north of here. I originally told them I couldn't take it since I didn't have transportation. After further thought, though, I decided fate had dropped a chance in my lap, and I had no right to not take it. Last Saturday, I went to my credit union and got pre-approved for a loan. Then my wife and I went to a local dealership. That was the result.
I called the temp agency back last Monday - which was my birthday - and told them I could take the job.
I do have a windshield and saddle bags, but they had to be ordered. I'm having them installed next week.
