I am officially ESTATIC! Wednesday night, I purchased my first car!!!! With no financial help whatsoever (yet, haha), I was able to drive away with a 2003 Silver VW Jetta… many many many many thanks to Mike for going with me and making sure I didn’t overlook important things to ask and look for. I finally have a car which runs smoothly, has more than one (6 in fact) speakers that work, a CD Player (keep in mind my old car had not even a tape deck — nor an 8-Track… I could’ve worked with that… gone to Amvets and gotten me some Eagles, some David Bowie, ABBA!), a sunroof, acceleration, oh and a plethora of features I’ve probably yet to discover. Oh! And she’s a manual… mmmmmmmmm… I’m still a little in shock that I was able to pull this off… I’m half-expecting to have to return her and go back to driving Herbie! Speaking of which… I need to name her. Two suggestions: Betty and Bessie; which leads to NO viable options. I was thinking Joey, or Jake… hmm… any suggestions? Specifically ones which don’t remind me of a farmer’s wife or a cow? LOL! Thank God It’s Friday!!! :)
