Well, the days of having to drive around in my mother’s mini-van are finally over. I’ve finally got my own car, a 2000 Honda Civic LX. Went down to La Crascenta and got he deal finalized and picked it upjust the other night. Considering it’s only got about 72000 miles, it was positively a steal for only $5,500–bluebook for it was $8,100! It’s got air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a CD player, the whole deal. Techincally it’s not mine–i.e. it’s not in my name–but I get to drive it. My parents are paying for it up front, and I’ll pay them back half later. Granted, it’s not brand-new, but it’s my first car, for goodness sake! It’s new to me, and that’s good enough as far as I’m concerned. It certainly beats having to work around my mom’s schedule for when I need to drive her car. If I really want that “new car smell” I can buy a can and spray it all over the interior.
