For the last few days, we’ve been driving around in a Cadillac. It’s a nice enough ride, but since the rear passenger-side tire looses air as fast as, I dunno, something fast, and it can only take premium, so-expensive-it’s-almost-amusing-but-not-really-funny-at-all gas, we’d like to find something a little more economical. Or, at the very least, something a little more ours, instead of my parents’. Our budget is very, very small, and so it was a little dishearting to see the prices of cars right now. Even in the crappier parts of town, where you can usually find near-junkers at the scary little auto lots - the sort with names like Bob’s A+ Autos or Mike’s Motors - we couldn’t find anything in our price range.
Sigh.
I’m sure we’ll find something. It may not be nice, and it may not be anything I actually want to drive, but it’ll get us around until we have established ourselves a bit more and can more easily saddle ourselves down with a nice, heavy car loan so I can get a nice, comfy, safe, and boring little car, like my old Corolla.
In the mean time, I guess I can run wherever I need to go. That’d be good exercise. Might be a little difficult, of course. But, hey, I can do it - I did 3 miles today. Now, sure 3 miles isn’t a lot, maybe, but considering it’s only my second run since getting back, I’m feeling pretty good about it. Go me!
