In which Sky bought a car.
May. 18th, 2011 10:00 pm• So, on Sunday, I went to look at a car. There was a lot that was fantastic about it, except for a "wiggle". We told the guy about it. He was taking care of the sale for his daughter, and he sort of went, "Huh, I've never driven it, so I didn't know." But he took the car to a mechanic/the dealership service center, and apparently the wiggle was a tread of a tire that had separated from the wheel. And could have blown at any moment. I was happy to be alive after hearing about that. Anyway, he put new tires on the car, and then... didn't charge me extra for them when he sold me the car.
Long story short: ( I bought a car yesterday! )
• Still can't drive it without a licensed driver, but. Now that I have a car—one that meets all the DMVs requirements for their silly inspection—I can take the road test and have my freedom at last. I just have to register the car and get a license plate (part of the registration process, I assume?) and then I can take the test. I'm hoping that means I'll be able to take it sometime next week.
• (/peers at the picture) Hm, I wonder if the tires need air...
• In addition to half the price of the car, my mom gave me $250 for gas. Which means that I might be able to afford the drive to California this summer. I want to go out for my grandmother's birthday in July, and I thought driving out might be nice, but with the cost of gas what it is, it might have been slightly cheaper to fly. But with the $250, it might be affordable. :) I shall have to see. California in the summer means swimming. I NEEDS ME SOME SWIMMING.
• School is almost done. Which means I need to throw together some papers, and then be done with it. And then I can spend the summer writing fic.
Yeah, that's really all I had to say. I BOUGHT A CAR!
