Well, I still don't have my license... I've had my permit for almost 2 months now but practicing has been on and off because of my husband's and my work schedules. My husband got a new car (2006 Hyundai Tiburon) back in April and instead of trading in his 2000 Elantra, he gave it to me. Unfortunatly at our last oil change for the Elantra we found out there may run into problems with the transmision so we decided to trade it in now before we ran into any major problems with it.

So yesterday, I actually got to look around and pick out my very own first car! I am now a proud owner of a 2000 Dodge Intrepid with 56k miles on it. I think we got a good deal for it too. Now all I need to do is get used to driving a much longer car than an Elantra. :P

Anyway, just wanted to share my news with everyone. I was bragging about my new car at work yesterday too. I'm just so excited! :dance:

This is my new car:

Congrats!!! A used car is a smart choice. Let someone else pay for depreciation.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Thanks everyone!

Actually CanGal, the car is a light silver (my favourite colour). What I found amusing about the Dodge Intrepid is that when reading the owner manual, this car is made in Canada (like me lol!) and the Dodge symbol on the hood (the ram) is my zodiac sign (aries). I guess it was meant to be! :lol::yes:

I hope you can get your own car soon CanGal. My husband had to use part of his college fund for mine and it makes me feel so guilty (but I will be paying him back eventually). We needed a second car though with both of us working and my husband taking part time classes as well.
