I'll even tell about it. It's a brand spanking new Chevy Avalanche. Very cool. Can run on 85% ethanol, but sadly, there is not one ethanol refueling station anywhere in the Phoenix metro area. Go figure. Also has a huge old V-8 that's smart enough to run on 4 until power is needed, then the others kick in.
Of course, due to the unfortunate timing issue, my family and I might end up living in it, but that's another story.  |
Does it matter that I wanted to quit the day after I bought mine?
Why... because I'm a huge martyr type who takes things waaay too personally, and takes guilt on when it isnt mine to take. (Okay, if you know me, you're sitting there thinking omg, she admitted it!)
I think that some other people in my life should have gotten a new/er car before me, that I dont deserve it, blah blah. I wont bore you with those details. I've never had a new car, never had car payments, and never expected to have either.
Never mind that I was driving a 1987 two door Manual Nissan Sentra that wasnt passing smog, and the blue book value was under what it would cost to repair it. That my mechanic told me six months ago not to take outside the city if I wanted to arrive at my destination.
I bought a 2006 Toyota Corolla. Automatic, power windows, a/c, and cloth seats.
Do i love it? No, I love my a/c'less Nissan. But its a guilt thing as I said. my son loves the new car. He has a door, and its not as hot as the old car. And we wont have to borrow a car to go to Disneyland.
It's driving my family nuts that they talk to someone and mention my car, only to discover I havent told the people they think are my closest friends.
(the stock image, not MY car, but I made sure it was the right color and all that rot)
What I
was driving. Someone elses car, but looks just like my baby, only mine is white.
