Melanie’s New Car

As you know I have a teenagers at home.  Not just one… but only one of them is special…  you know by now to what I speak…  only one is a driver!  That means I can’t pass a car lot without a discussion of the steal on display;  it means I can’t open the newspaper without handing over the classified section; it means that Melanie is now a car expert.  No, not one of those “I’ve studied cars my whole life”, and not one of those “I design cars for GM”…  nope.  Melanie is a self-made expert.  🙂

So anyway, I’m bowing to peer pressure and have found her the perfect automobile.

1) 4 cylinder motor
2) good on gas
3) not too fast
4) only needs those personal touches to fix it up
5) doesn’t need tires
6) doesn’t need gas

  1. Hey Melanie! I think I learned to drive in a car very similar. . . but mine was a station wagon. I’m so glad it’s just a little different because I would have had to wonder if it was the “Gs” (the dalton version of saying the grandparents). Ron and I looked at a similar one in Moldova. . .similar in condition, not model and make. I would send you a picture of it, but for some reason my external harddrive with 40 thousand pictures on it won’t power up.

    Scott, I think I hate comptuers.

  2. You know, another plus to that particular vehicle is that insurance rates should be reasonable, unless Melanie gets into an accident or gets a ton of speeding tickets or something

  3. Hey, that’s right, cheap insurance! And I trust Melanie to be so careful in this car I doubt she’d ever get a speeding ticket in it! 🙂
