Beeeep Beeeeeeeeep

Okay, week 16 and I broke down and got a car... But I have justifications. Being an event planner, your hours are crazyy. reason one. Working in the suburbs. reason two. Two hour commute each way to work. reason three. Obviously there were more reasons to get a car than not... I got a 2001 Black Volkswagon New Beetle. Its a cute little car and my mom put a big sunflower in its bud vase : ) Its missing somethings... like A/C (which is fun in August) and a cd player, but it gets me from point A to point B so I am thrilled.



The best part, just when my life was starting to fall into routine and I didnt have much to write about I get a car... fulllll of blog worthy life stories.



Lets begin when I bought the car. I make this decision with my parents in Cleveland. So we get on autotrader and find this car in Brunswick. Monday morning my mom, Chelsea and I drive out to the lot they are holding it at. So, we pull up and I yell at Chels that she is pulling into a junk yard, this couldnt be a legit company, ohh, but it was. This place was a complete mess. No parking spots, no sales people, just a sleezy middle old man who did every job under the sun from his desk in the front window.



I wish I could explain this man with justice but I dont think I will be able to. He was that bizarre. Later he told me he use to live in the ghetto area off Alliance, and loved it, if that gives you any understanding of what kind of man this was. Anyways, they sold me the car telling me it was in mint condition. 5 minutes off the lot, lights started coming on. It was a long drive back from Cleveland that night, but I am SO thankful to have my new car!

Driving in the city is interesting, Cars literally switch lanes every second, its like driving I have never seen before. They weave like a braid in and out of each other. Cabs, honk at EVERYTHING, and I have pulled into on coming one way traffic lanes, twice.. talk about life flashing before your eyes.

Needless to say, if I wasnt a defensive driver before, I AM NOW!! : )
