My Own Personal Murphy's Law

Hello,

I got my Prius late this afternoon--they drove it out from West Virginia to Illinois...unfortunately, I have this tendency to have things happen to cloud the joy of such wonderful occasions, and I was wondering if anyone could offer any words of wisdom?

Issue 1: when signing the paperwork, I encountered one of the gotchas I read about on Edmunds: I'd already been given a rate and monthly payment by the sales guy, but one of the documents I had to sign says that the financing is still subject to approval, which could result in a demand for additional money down and/or a rate change. Yikes! I immediately had them call the dealer. I expressed my concern, and the salesperson assured me I was locked in on the figures we agreed upon. What do you think, am I in for trouble here? I put down a lot on the car, and I have a fine credit rating--will those factors keep me safe? Or am I screwed?

Issue 2: Being excited and not terribly focused, I drove off in my new car, wondering why it seemed sluggish for about a 1/4 mile...and then I realized THE EFFING PARKING BRAKE WAS ON. I even thought I smelled something heating up. I immediately got onto a median found the parking brake and released it. The car seemed fine afterwards...but once again, am I screwed?

Sigh. It's still a bitchin' car. While going through the carwash, I was able to store my home address and have Ms. Prius help me navigate.
