Today I bought a car for $5! This is not only momentous due to the price, but also because it's the first car I've ever owned. The very, very few of you who have witnessed my driving abilities might be a little scared, but I promise that I will be able to drive just fine, more or less... anyways, it's a strange thing for me. But in Texas you really can't get anywhere without a car. I'm hoping wherever I end up in Dallas/Fort Worth I'll be able to get around some places without a car, but I know that's pretty optimistic.
It's a red '97 Honda Accord. Apparently it's running in decent condition, but is very old, so I'll be using it for only as long as it lasts (note how I'm crossing my fingers). I haven't actually driven it yet, but the people who sold it to me are friends of my parents. Any forthcoming funny/scary stories I will try to write down for your entertainment!
Wow, what a deal! Any more of those on sale? Seriously though, it's great that you have a way to get around without breaking your bank. Hopefully it will last a long time without breaking down!

ReplyDeleteI was one of these people that experienced the car ride. It was fun, to say the least.
