Car-ed

At long, long last, I have obtained a vehicle.

Yes, this time around, I have really obtained it. It's sitting in my newly-cleared-out garage right now.

The Corolla (I really need to think of a more creative name for it. 'My car' doesn't really quite cut it either) accelerates like a beast. Or as beasty as a small car can get. It's has absolutely no problems accelerating.

And the colour. Oh man. I'd forgotten how good the colour was. During this past week, I'd been sort of regretting choosing this colour, even though I didn't have much choice. It was either black, or this, which is a no-brainer. Black cars get dirty and hot very quickly.

Turns out I'd remembered the colour wrong in my mind. I thought it was a lot darker. Turns out it's more of a light silvery blue, rather than the dark blue that I had remembered. It's so mad. So classy, yet so much more exciting than silver.

Bootspace is massive. Like, you could fit two of me in there probably.

And best of all, I can plug an iPod in there. Oh yes. My whole music collection. None of this CD shuffling.

I'm kind of scared of driving it now though. I have no idea why my parents bought a new car in the first place. Not that I'm complaining. But insurance is massive, until I'm 25. Which I thought was a bit extreme. I mean, I'm a late starter, but I would've been driving for five years by then. But, as my father says, they clearly don't value customers in our age bracket.

But the fact still remains that I haven't driven for about 10 months. So it'll be a while before I'm burning up a street near you.
