SladesMommy | 03-13-2008 04:17 PM | I got a new car! I don't have the best of luck with cars,
When I was 18, my BIL cosigned w/ me so I could get a 1997 Red Jeep Cherokee Sport. I LOVED that car! Unfortunately when I was 20, I hydroplaned on a wet road, and it crashed sideways into a tree, and my head came inches from hitting the tree. I ended up w/ 7 staples in my head and a couple concussions where my head played pinball, bouncing off every surface of the car as I hit. THe jeep was totalled, and everyone who saw the Jeep thought I should be dead, by the look of the car. My angel was definitely with me that night. By the time the insurance had been settled and the last few months I owed on it were paid off, I was left w/ only about $800. Talk about frustrating! :rolleyes:
So I waited a few months and bought a Ford Bronco, which ended up being one of the biggest mistakes of my life. After spending over $700 getting it fixed last February, in March on Spring Break it broke down. I had someone tow it, but I didn't have the money to get it fixed at the time. Well someone I sorta knew from online offered to go get it and he was going to fix it for the cost of parts. Well to make a long story short, I STILL don't have my Bronco and the guy is nowhere to be found.
So anyway, I've been looking for another Jeep Cherokee, b/c I loved my old one. On the way home from class last night, a red one just like my old one caught my eye. I begged mom to take me to look at it today. She did, but it was manual. :( I can't drive stick. BUT they had a white one that was automatic.
AND ITS MINE NOW!! :D Coming home tomorrow as soon as it gets insurance. My mom was nice enough to put it in her name as long as I will make payments on it.
Its a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Limited, with leather seats (those are gonna burn my butt in the summer!). I can't wait to get it home. |
