buy a car of my own

It’s small and old but it is very free-ing!

One of my mom’s coworker’s relatives was selling a car of hers for $1000. I bought it outright and had a part replaced and it drives fine.

I honestly would love to have my own little car. It would give me so much freedom. Although now I think about it perhaps just taking hubby to work and keeping the car for me and the girls during the day would also be fine.

Guess I just need to get out more … (see other ‘things’)

It’s funny how all the things I want to do are linked. Any body else found that? It’s almost like doing one thing will help me with another … hmmmm.

But no, in the future, it would be BRILLIANT to have my own car. Maybe when the girls are in school and I go to work. Eeeeesh maybe I should put that as another thing I want to do!!

still have not gotten a car. but now that i’m in jersey, i might need one soon. i think the perfect car would be the mini cooper. it’s small (perfect to park anywhere in jc or hoboken), and its not like i have children or anything, so i don’t need a huge car. also, its made by bmw, so that must be good, right? its so me. maybe for graduation, but who knows. it would be sweet though. :) the lady i babysit for told me not to get a jetta (or vw in general), she hates the interior of hers. i know other people that really like theirs though, but its funny she says that because my dad has always said he hates the interiors of them too. i dunno. because my initial thought was to get a jetta. but now i don’t even care, just give me something!

i’m starting to look at cars. i’m probably going to buy a jetta. i don’t want something that i’ll feel ridiculous in or childish when i’m 25, but i also don’t want a mom or dad car. plus they aren’t too expensive, and i think they’re adorable. i used to want a beetle really bad, but i think i’d feel really stupid riding in one going to a real job or something. don’t get me wrong, they’re cute, but just so not for me, and so not me. i can imagine getting into some kind of accident with one and being embarassed because it’s just sort of a silly looking car, and you’re in this horrible situation with a funny car. anyway, i usually write these things figuring no one will read them, but here you are reading it, so i better start making more sense. anyway, the jetta i found has pretty good milage and is a 2000. i feel like 2000 wasn’t that long ago, but alas, it was 6 years ago. if it’s 2006, do you think driving a 2000 car is outdated or a waste of money? i wish i knew!

It’s a part of growing up.. isnt it?
