about a car

[precision grace]

Hello

I've got to replace my second hand car with another second hand car because the one I've got now needs repairs costing more than what I paid for it two years ago. Tomorrow I am going to test drive a potential replacement car. Bearing in mind it's the first one I've decided to test drive and the one I bought now was also the first and only one I saw at the time and the fact that you shouldn't, as a general rule, buy the first car you see, I asked, what should I know about wanting to buy the car I'm going to see tomorrow:

54.2.3.4.5 > 63

Would you expect hidden faults if you got this?

54.4 indicates you should wait before taking action. That is, a delay with "marrying" this car would be good.

I've always taken line 54.5 to mean completion. This is said to occur "close upon the Full Moon." Whether this is with the first car or another car, the oracle does not say.

Getting hex 54 indicates a situation you did not choose -- but you have to deal with it anyway.

Talking about delay..
I overslept this morning and consequently had to postpone the test drive until tomorrow!

I did not choose to be this tired and not get up in time lol

The larger situation you did not choose -- You did not choose to have a car, you just need to have a car, like everybody else. I once got hexagram 54 when selecting a new computer when I wasn't really enthusiastic about going through that process. I have also gotten 54 numerous times when afflicted with colds and flus I did not choose to have. "You are not the one who has chosen" is surely one way to think about hexagram 54.

Let us know what happens with that car!

'not the one who has chosen' is a great way to think about 54

well, I failed at yet another opportunity to test drive that car. Was supposed to do it today but yesterday felt very unwell and didn't manage to get out of bed until it was too late.
Maybe this car is not the right car..

Maybe the car is The Maiden, waiting to prove itself worthy of your choice?

Precision Grace,
Did you end up testing the car? Was it the one you bought?
