[glow=red,2,300]I have a car.
It's a '95 Ford something-or-other, with 5 seats and plenty of cargo room. Filthy as heck. Spent the entire afternoon cleaning it off.
But man is it worth it.
Shimmering teal under all that grime. A radio that works wicked well. And best of all; it runs! Which is an improvement on the prospects that I was looking at, if I had to buy my own car on my own budget.
If you've seen my previous rants, you know my mom wasn't too keen on me driving, or on me not becoming a Catholic. Still not sure where the turnaround was. But man, she's a beauty. And she's all mine. (At least until my sister starts driving.) ;D[/glow]

Congrats! That's so exciting. ^.^ It's wonderful to have your own car, a lot of freedom in there. Take good care of it and it'll last ya for a while. There's not much that beats getting your first car... I know my parents still remember what their first cars were.
My car is a '94 Isuzu Rodeo. Green, standard transmission, four-wheel drive. Large and tough. Good acceleration for a truck. Enough space in the back to load my entire dorm room in or haul around a ton of friends.

Congrats, Rider! It must be a thrill to actually have your very own car.

I'd give my car a name, but my sister would kill me for caring enough to name what she calls, "one $%^& of an ugly car." She says she'd rather have a car that looks good than one that runs well. When she's on teh side of the highway, see if I stop to help her. ;-P (Kidding. I would. Just very reluctantly and with a lot of "I told ya so"ing.)[/glow] |

Super cool, Rider!
*mutterthosestupidNYlawsaremakingmewaittwoextrayearsbeforeicandrivemutter*
And I'll probably be learning to drive in the fifteen passenger Ford van (le family car XD). At least driving a normal car will seem a lot easier, lol.
