I'm getting a car this weekend! →[More:]
I've put it off as long as I could, but now I really really have to do it.

Wish me luck.

The thought of spending this much money on anything makes me nauseous.

What car are you getting? Good luck!

It's looking like a Hyundai Elantra. Although I have a friend at a Toyota dealership that's working on a deal for me.

Cars are like personal space that you can take places, I love mine. But then, I love my motorcycle too.

Congrats! Please learn how to drive though. There are far too many people who think they know how to when they really do not. Or they have really bad manners.

And don't put spinning rims on it.

Congratulamations!

Take good care of it, and try not to get TOO upset at the first inevitable scratch, and the first unexpectedly large repair bill. Hopefully you'll make it at least a day for the former, and a few years for the latter.

If you can swing the bill, an advanced driving school (a 1 or 2 day on-track affair, aimed at highway skills) is a fantastic investment.
