I want my own car, a few years ago the parents took out a loan for me (not cosigned) and I diligently made my payments for about 85% of the 14k balance as well as the regular maintenance, insurance, fuel etc. then no car – not in my name and that really sucked at 20 years old. So I am hoping to buy an older classic car with personality, something I would enjoy working on, getting my hands dirty, smoothing out the edges and most importantly having something nice in my own name.

I would love it if one day in the near future I can buy my own car. That’d be a great way to show people that I can do it on my own.

I guess the title says enough. I’ll probably get my P’s in September and I’d like to have something of my own to drive. Something I can stick tacky bumper stickers on and vacuum and clean until my heart’s content. The job should probably come first though.. haha

Buying my own car was so worth it! I bought a 96 comaro with a convertible for a very good price. It makes you feel accomplished ;)

Many many many years ago ... 23 months ago

I went to Boot Camp. Washed out after 9 weeks. Got my paycheck. Bought a car. A little Renault for $500 cash. No reverse, no emergency brake, but it worked. I was even able to deliver pizzas for Pizza Hut for several months. Got a new battery installed by a friend of a co-worker and it was done wrong. The belt kept slicing wires, causing fuses to blow. Eventually the engine caught fire and I had to ditch it.

But I bought a car!!



At last! 2 years ago

It’s been a long and tedious road from my place to work, but now I’m going to be doing it in my own car, which will save me time, energy and, yes, money!

The car itself is non brilliant. An old Hyundai Accent with too much mileage for its own good and a rusty mechanic, but it runs smoothly and it’s had a few repairs recently, so all that had to go wrong already did and the engine is still good. I didn’t pay much and it’s only until I can get something better, but still, it’s a nice improvement on my bus card… And I can finally go see my friends on my own!
