I just can’t seem to find it my heart to get rid of my Chevrolet Cavalier. I got it before I went to college, and I have driven it for five whole years. It still runs by the way but I rarely use it now. I now drive a MINI Hatchback and sometimes, I miss the old Chevy especially when I drive to town.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.rayskillmanchevrolet.com/section/secondary/buy-here-pay-here-indianapolis/" rel="nofollow">Tyra Shortino</a>Tyra Shortinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02036598968481919774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-72111731400068332262012-07-17T08:10:58.628-04:002012-07-17T08:10:58.628-04:00My first car was a minivan.

It really made my school days a bit more convenient. :) I had to bring loads of material and school projects, and having a spacious ride was indeed a big help. Hmm. Oh you had station wagon? Did you know that it originated from trucks that eventually evolved to its figure today? It does have a two-box design configuration that makes it flexible for the volume, and passenger and cargo access.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.crosstownautocentre.com/specials/used.htm" rel="nofollow">Dante Mallet</a>Dante Mallethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119489182465210401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-45449825089026201532012-05-03T00:39:11.818-04:002012-05-03T00:39:11.818-04:00I was 40 when I got my first car, a silver Honda A...I was 40 when I got my first car, a silver Honda Accord. I remember driving it on a suburban highway in New Brunswick vainly looking for a place to turn left. Sort of panicstricken. I didn't realize NJ was the Jughandle State. The best thing about cars is the freedom to go to the beach. I love Cooper and I'm psyched that he's going to have a car. Is he going to be the kind of kid who can do his own mechanic work? iI could kind of see that.Arielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-71365333121994947542012-05-02T15:25:22.557-04:002012-05-02T15:25:22.557-04:00Ah, a gray, hand me down, VW Rabbit with a crank &...Ah, a gray, hand me down, VW Rabbit with a crank "sun roof", lol. Darn that thing was LOUD but it got me to back and forth to the beach quite often. And yes, total FREEDOM, but I was 21 when I got it. :)<br /><br />The male mc in my current novel is owner of a car I actually saw in a parking lot a few years ago. I swear this car looked like it could sit around the campfire and share stories. It just gave off this VIBE and I knew I'd use it someday. I came to know the person who owned the car and it so totally fit them. Strange and interesting! But I wonder would I have to put in one of those "any similarities" disclaimers?? Hope not :)<br /><br />And I love Linda A's comment above!

I agree with Gale. What wonderful plot possibilities!<br /><br />Second, I was the odd teenager who did not want a car. I bummed rides off my friends whenever I could instead of borrowing the family car.

But it ran, and I loved it. Freedom is exactly the word I associate with it too. When I first got in to drive, with no adult in the car with me, I had the exhilarating thought 'I can go ANYWHERE' -- let your MC roam! That will be exciting.Julie Whelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474747044429106358noreply@blogger.com
