Yesterday I bought my first car and I'm so excited. It's a used car but we test drove it and checked everything out. It's the perfect car for me, it's fast, cute, decent sound system and it's a smaller car which is what I was looking for. Itt also has tons of room in the back! It's a 2000 Dodge Neon.
So when did everyone else get their first car? How did it feel!!

True. But I would think that a youngster today would have that same feeling. Especially coming from a poverty stricken environment. I remember buying the car for 75 dollars and putting another 350 dollars into fixing it up a bit. That was my life's savings. lol But I did it myself. Made me feel like a real man. lol

Yes cars do look quite similar nowadays. 75 dollars! I wish I could get a car for that.

First car was a spur of the moment thing. Only a fiver, but I shouldn't have bought it. It went bang less than half a mile down the road. That engine would never work again!
So, second car was the first I actually used for some time, a Cortina mark two. Blew that engine too eventually! Have you ever seen a piston come through the bonnet?
First feel good car came much later - an Audi 100.

Wow. I've been longing to buy myself one but couldn't save up enough. I guess there'll be time for everything. I better spend on what's needed first.

When we acquire something of great value and utility, yes with great pleasure we test it, glance at it with love and enjoy it. A great satisfaction of having acquired it. Yet there remains an uncertainty, whether there will be safety and continuity. Those who care for traditional values look forward for luck when they acquire a valuable object or property. For some acquiring a comfortable means of transport is like being married to that car or vehicle. After all the car will be a constant companion to the driver . f one desires a longer life for that car he has to take care of that car constantly. Its similar to the same care that one has for his child. So acquiring a new car is in certain sense its like getting a new child if not a companion.

Cool! How's the car running ff. I don't drive. But that's not the reason why I don't have a car!hahahaha!! We live in a place where we don't really need to have a private transpo. Commuting is a lot easier here in Bangkok. The trains are always accessible and when we do hire a cab, we would usually just need to go a few blocks from where we are.

My first car was a 16th birthday gift from my parents... it was a Mercury Comet... green. It was a car that my dad bought used from some elderly man. I had just gotten my license and I needed a car to commute back and forth to college every day. I was so proud to get a car!! My dad, however, parked it on the street in front of the house and made me prove I could change a tire before he would give me the keys. So there I was, with all the neighbors watching, changing a tire that didn't need to be changed LOL
