When I first moved down here, I was only 20, and I didn't have a car. So I was driving my dad's Kia Sportage around to and from work, and wherever else. Anyways, I turned 21, and my dad and his wife were absolutely positive that I was going to get drunk, go out driving, get into a wreck, and THEY would get sued because it was under their insurance, etc.

So they said I had to get a car asap. I told them I didn't have much money and that I would save up and get a car in 6 months. They were so freaked out about their own little ideas that they just said "We'll give you $10k to put towards a car. Hurry up and find one, and then pay us back." So I started looking online, the back of my mind was telling me to stay DSM, but I really wanted a 300zx. Couldn't find any that were good enough, didn't want a honda, I was looking at some trucks. anyways, I found the black eclipse in miami, drove down and got it the next weekend for $7500. Thats pretty expensive now that I think about it, but I didn't care. Just this past friday, I gave my dad the final payment on it. So now I own my car 100%, and I can't wait to get rid of it.
