Ive always wanted to own a car 2 weeks ago

I love driving so much and feel totally constricted when I dont have a car (which is all the time) but Ive never been able to afford one. Once in a while I borrow my parents for a while like a week or weekend and its so great I never want to give it back. Twice I borrowed a car of theirs for the summer and they were amazing summers. When I graduated college I was really excited to get one, but then I ended up choosing not to do a job where I make a lot of money even though I had that option. The car was the thing that was really hard to give up. Still not sure at all if it was the right decision.

Hopefully I'll be able to afford one soon, in the next year?


I love driving 2 weeks ago

I LOVE driving. I love the freedom. I love how easy it is to just go to the store and get something. Wlaking/biking make things take so long to do so I often just skip them, with a car I get more done. I love driving for hours and listening to the radio. I love singing at the top of my lungs with the windows down. I love dancing in my seat even though its probably dangerous. I love that when youre driving theres nothing you can do about most things until you get there so you can just not worry about them. I miss dirving to work, It separated my day and made it easy to get into work mode.

old cars rock 3 months ago

i want to buy my 1st car. love it to be a 1960s car or 70s but very unrealistic. so a smal cheap car that got good gas mileage will have to due. but when i have money and time, i really want a 60s or 50s car like peyton in One Tree Hill.

I want a Smart Car!! 10 months ago

I would love to own a Smart Car. I did look at the website. I am afraid with the credit crunch I won’t be approved. But I do miss having a car and being independent, so I will look at my credit report and ask a friend who is into financial planning for his advice.



Untitled 13 months ago

This is my first entry in 43 things. This is an incredibly easy goal for me since I already picked out the car i want and i’m just waiting for it to get fixed so i can buy it! It’s used and is relatively cheap. I’m buying it from a small dealership and they were supposed to fix it over a month ago and still haven’t! But it’s OK the guy is trustworthy and my uncle has bought 2 cars so far through him. He’s apparently having problems with his mechanic.
Well I can;t wait to own this car! Will give independence which I have missed for a while now—almost a year!
