Stupid Florida Driving Laws
Ugh, I'm so sick and tired of being practically the only junior at Bartram that doesn't have her license yet. Why? Because I moved down here when I was ALMOST 16 and THEN found out that I had to keep a stupid-ass learner's license for a whole freakin' YEAR before I could even TRY and get my real license. Up North, they make you keep it for only half a year and I'm pretty sure that if you just take the 8 courses, it doesn't matter if you had it or not. It's freakin' ridiculous and because I don't have a car/license, I couldn't register for a parking spot, so I don't know what I'm going to do! I just can not wait until December/January. December is when my dad said I WILL be getting a car and January is when I'll have my license.
Anyway, my dad took me to a Toyota/Scion dealer Sunday and I test drove a beautiful grey Scion xA and, no, this wasn't that ugly-ass boxy one. This is the mini-Toyota Matrix.
And OMG-I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE!!!!!
It doesn't matter if I get that particular Scion or not(even though the deal is out of this world, but, eh, my dad is stubborn), I just WANT one of these cars! They're really cute, stylish, and not as cramped as you'd think. They also pack a punch for such a small car. I would absolutely DIE to have a black or burgundy version of one of these babies and then stick some car graphics on the side of it.
Here's a stock photo of a Scion xA for those that aren't aware: http://www.adopt.org/gala/scion-xa-400.jpg
Isn't it awesome looking? Oh, and the stereo system(which is insanely important for a rocking teen like me) is AWESOME! It isn't exactly a factory stereo because it was produced by Pioneer, so you ALREADY have a Pioneer stereo system in your car with a color changing LTD display and possbile iPod linkage!!! 'Tis perfect for me!
And, it really isn't THAT expensive. The car runs around $14,000 and I plan on getting it used with finance. So, we'll probably end up putting down $2000 and I pay the monthly fee of around $180~200, but that's only if we can get my grandparents to let me use their perfect credit because my parents are HORRIBLE drivers.
Blah, I'm so obsessed with driving and getting a car that I don't know what I'm going to do! If I can't get this car, though, I'm going after a Toyota Matrix. I originally wanted a Camaro, but finally understood how unpractical/unsafe the car was, so I'm going for these cool designed cars!
Oh, and in other news: expect a new layout for dark-is-light.org and updates(finally, yea, I know) in the next few weeks. I'm trying to get a photo shoot going at my school for some stock, but I'm having a hard time getting people to come for free...heh...
