Hi,
I got a new car! I'ts so awesome, really helps with the allergies, for those that don't know, I have not had a car for about 4 years now.
At first I got a 2800 dollar car, an Impala, it had been in a wreck, and had all kinds of safety issues. I was very distraught, I thought, "I am never going to get out of this rut I am in". I have a small online business, selling vintage and I sew, and have a regular job and am a single mom. So I really, really can be helped by having a car. Anyway. I was going to try and sell the crappy (unsafe) car on craigslist, people would message me, and I would only message guys that sounded like they could work on it. But then I a couple of saturdays ago I saw an ad on TV, it said for 8$ a day you can buy an almost new car, and come on down right away with your trade in, we are giving top dollar. I have never wanted to get into a payment thing, as I work a the restaurant business. But I thought to myself, SELF- I thought, lol, self, you used to smoke and drink beer, that was about 15$ a day, and you did that, then you quit both of those. Then the govt garnished your wages and took your tax return for the last 4 years and you made it though that.....so, I took that unsafe car down to the car place, and low and behold I have a new Chevy Aveo it's a 2011 it's very economical, and cute, and I love it. Now what i am doing is saving 10$ of my tips every day so that I can make my payment, and actually I have my first payment all saved up. And! It has a warrantee.
That's the good news. I actually came here to share that I was in a minor accident in my new car and felt like smoking, but I found some toothpicks in my purse and chewed on those while we waited for the police. The gal was kind of a jerk, I think she pulled out in front of me, but made it seem like I just hauled off and hit her. My car is fine, I am fine. My insurance might go upl. But I made it through a situation where I really actually did feel like smoking, but every time I think about it, and then carry that thought farther I know I would regret it, and it would be gross and I would probably throw up at this point.
My new car smells great, just now i went to go get something out of it, it's so nice. I keep change in the ashtray.
Hello to everyone that has helped me so much here. I wish I could stop by more often, but this place just takes so long to load, and is so not easy to use. 😞 But I will try and stop by more.
PS. I quit smoking 561 days ago, and have saved enough to buy a new car!
