So I went home this weekend and picked up my NEW FUCKING CAR! WOOO!
It isn't exactly what I would have picked out. My dad basically chose this one for me, for reasons that are complicated and very boring. But I can't really complain, he did pay for it. The insurance ended up much, much cheaper than I was expecting. AND I HAVE A CAR! So i'm satisfied. I drove it back to London on saturday...it was a great drive. It's still sinking in that now I wanna go somewhere, I can just go. No more hassling with buses or bumming rides. I can just go. God how awesome.
It is a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. Fully loaded...power windows, locks, cd player, sun roof (it doesn't open though), power seat adjustment, etc.
