Meet my zippy new ride
March 28, 2010
For the past two months I have been driving Bryan’s ’98 Ford Expedition around LA. I very quickly came to the conclusion that driving a boat-sized gas guzzler around while trying to familiarize myself with a new, large, and crowded city is not the best idea. So I decided to buy a car. Can I afford a car? Not really. But I bought one anyway. Meet my “super black” Nissan Versa:
5D hatchback. It’s small. It’s safe, it’s gas efficient. It’s not the Yaris (I HATE the Yaris). I’m happy with my choice. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go eat instant ramen for the rest of the year.
But seriously. It’s not a BMW, nor is it my dream car, but I used money that I worked hard for to pay for it. I can’t say the same for most of the Chinese students at Ohio University that drive their super expensive luxury cars around. I’m proud of myself, but I can also feel the weight on my shoulders becoming heavier with every adult decision I make. This is really it. I can’t pretend to be a kid anymore.
OMG, that car is hot. What’s blacker than black? super black and now i know. I switch between ramen and spaghetti got to have some variety in a poor person’s diet. And you should always pretend to be a kid.
I am proud of you too, and I am going to get my car soon. It will not be a expensive one, but I think I will be happy of my choice.
ur fucking righteous to get this whip girl.
the Mercedes will come at an EVEN better moment, the gods watch over you admiringly.
and I believe you are one of the only people who know how to carry the kid in you properly and to not exploit it, that’s where you get your magic from- being vibrant like a youngin. but your soul’s just so old that you feel like you’re not a kid. plus you’re more of an adult than most middle aged “adults”. i believe you have been to other areas of the universe and i wish i could hang out and be with you right NOW
I just bought this car too, for the exact reason you did. Nor is it my dream car. However, i do love my new car! When i was going through the finciancing for this car, i was so scared because i love living a simple, easy life and being a kid. But i went hardcore, now i have car payments. However, i don’t regreat it. I need to get my windows tinted, it’s too freaking hot for a black car in california.
But i can totally relate to you.
