I bought a car.

I bought a car. It's cleaned me out. But it's a good car.

Bought it from our trusted mechanic. It has passed Maryland Inspection. Has 113k miles on it. He bought it for his niece who's giving it up because she needs a four door to ferry her friends around.

Since I bought from him I don't have to take it to him for a look.

And he's here in Germantown. So I was able to get to it. :)





I was willing to settle for anything in my price range that had good gas mileage and was in good condition. I didn't expect it to be pretty.

The headlights on mine are all white. No orange. Much prettier. (The windows aren't blacked out.)

As of next Friday I'll be mobile again. This opens up my job situation quite a bit.


Addendum: I have a kitty kneading my lower back. Nice. Except... eep... erp... claws.

Hurray! I know that cars aren't your favorite things, but this will definitely make life easier for you in our car-centered culture.

I justify it with a new-found ability to do prayer shifts.

And you can offer to carpool with someone to help conserve gas!

Sweet! It comes approved by your mechanic, and it's beaut, too.

I comes so approved, he found it for his niece.

Now that's approved-approved.

I have to wait a whole week for it. *sighs at the photos*

It's a very nice car.

I'm so ... surprised.

I am not a good appreciator of what cars look like, but I am glad you got something if it will help you with general existence.
