So, what did I end up doing?
First, I drove to the bank to get a cashier's check to pay for the car. Given that inflation has taken a lot of value from our currency, I still find it hard to believe that I paid more for this car than I put down as a down payment on my apartment. And then I was worried a little that I didn't get the right kind of check from the bank.
Next, it was a call to my insurance company to find out what I need to do to get the insurance transferred to the new car. I learned that things had changed, and that once the paperwork is started, the old car is covered for 24-48 hours. This is good to know, as I will need to make sure that DCD can pick up the old car with his own plates.
Finally, I was able to contact the salesman to tell him that I'd be coming in on Tuesday to pick up the new car. Of course, he wants me to speak to a final person who will try to sell me add-ons. I know which ones I want and don't want, but I will deal with this on Tuesday.

Now that my need to be out as Mario was over, I could rest a bit before going to a meetup as Marian. It was nice to pretty myself up again, as I know that I'll soon be stuck in Mario mode for the better part of a week. But I wasn't sure that I wanted to go to the meetup, and I would have been better off by bailing out. The activity was a music themed bingo at a local sports bar, and it was too loud there for me to enjoy myself. If I didn't have a bite to eat while there, I could have gotten into playing bingo. So, with this in mind, I took my leave a little early and drove home for the night
