swear to god, this is no joke.
i won a car.
yep, i entered a drawing at this sushi restaurant i go to all the time and they called me yesterday to tell me i had won a car. a honda fit, in fact. here is a picture of it.
kind of sporty, no? i wonder how much it retails for... obviously i dont need a car in boston. holy crap. i just looked it up. its worth $17,000! i obviously have no concept of cars and how much they cost.
so isnt that wild??
here is what happened. i am a member of this frequent buyer card for this restaurant i love, mikunisushi. i got a voicemail from them yesterday "hi danielle, this is michelle [btw, i love it when other names rhyme with mine] from mikuni sushi. i'm calling about our promotion and to confirm your address." so i call back and she asks where i live because my address on my account is in boston. mikunis is the restaurant i go to in sac all the time when i'm there for work. "oh, i live in boston, but i'm in california often for work." then she says "oh, well, we drew your name to win a car in our vegas promotion, but i think its only for california residents... let me check. hold on." so she puts me on hold. i had no idea i had entered a contest for a CAR. i thought it was for a trip to vegas or some free sushi or something, so i was trying to convince her that i would be in california soon to collect my prize. "hi, danielle, yeah, i'm sorry to tell you but the contest is for california residents only. i am so sorry!" "eh, thats ok." i honestly didnt really care. it was kind of funny to me. so i won a car. except i can't have the car. then she said something REALLY hilarious "well, thank you for frequenting our restaurant as much as you do when you are in town!" which is funny because i go there
all
the
time
when i'm in town. i think i went at least 3 times a few weeks ago.
in this case, contrary to the stupid abba song, the winner does not take it all. but i'm not bitter. and i'm actually serious. i thought instantly "this will make an AWESOME blog post!" here is my convo with my roommate about it:
8:39 PM me: hey
8:40 PM i won a car today
8:42 PM Ryan: excuse me?
me: i did
but i cant accept it bcs i'm not a resident of CA
it was a honda fit
Ryan: lol, what are you talking about
me: mikunis, the sushi resto i go to in sac
drew me to win a car
Ryan: ROFL
8:43 PM me: but they called me bcs they saw in my profile that i live in MA
Ryan: want me to go to sac to pick it up for you
me: ha!
i wish
Ryan: they were like "hey you won... but you can't have it" ?
me: so she left me a msg
and said "i'm calling from mikunis to confirm your address" or something like that
8:44 PM so i called and told her that i lived in MA, but am in Sac often
bcs i thought she was calling about free sushi or something
Ryan: lol
me: and then she said "we drew you to win a car, but i think its for ca residents only. let me check"
and then she put me on hold
Ryan: ROFL
me: and came back and told me that was correct
Ryan: thats so bizarre
8:45 PM me: yeah
but the thing is
i didnt enter to win a car
Ryan: and something that would pretty much only happen to you
me: they had some promo to get a trip to vegas or something
and i entered that
Ryan: haha
me: apparently this was part of it or something
lol
why do you say would only happen to me??
Ryan: were you supposed to drive the car to vegas?
is that the "trip"
haha
me: i dont really know... i should find it online
8:46 PM dante was upset that i didnt try to get her to give it to him
Ryan: lol
me: which i WOULD HAVE tried
BUT he is not a member of the koki club
Ryan: i can't even listen to this
me: DESPITE ME TELLING HIM TO JOIN MULTIPLE TIMES
Ryan: lol
me: i find it very humorous
doesnt make me mad at all
8:48 PM Ryan: oh, i'm sure. i think it's hysterical
me: pretty much
