Just moments ago I handed over the keys to my very first car [well not really the first, but my “real” first car wasn’t exactly around that long]. So, for the sake of being dramatic we will say my very first car. The car, which I squeezed 9 people into and drove to Denny’s at 4 a.m. for a late midnight snack. The car which I crammed 5 teenage girls into for 14 hours and drove to South Carolina for Spring break [because I "broke" the “real” first car 2 weeks before our big trip]. The car, which I rammed into both the garage door and basketball hoop at my parent’s house in the 12th grade. The car whose tires popped twice on my way back from working at The Red Barn, and the car with a big dent on the front hood from hitting a deer in Columbia County. The car that I got stuck in the mud at 3 a.m., and my dad had to call AAA to come get me. The car that I recieved over 10 speeding tickets in and spent thousands of dollars to get them reduced. What a nice first car….If only the guy buying it knew how much she has been through.
…..
Sound asleep in my bed Saturday morning, my dad meets with a man for a test drive. Before I even get out of bed, my car is sold for the full asking price of $6,500. The man put down $200 dollars to hold the car. All weekend I drove the car happily, believing that a proper exchange would be made when my new Mini arrives. However, Sunday evening my dad calls and says that I need to clean out the car because the man will be picking it up Monday afternoon. So, I sadly drag myself outside and empty my belongings from the car and vacuumed Molly’s hair out of the back seat. I drove my black Honda Accord Coupe EX to work this morning for the very last time.
So, it is Monday afternoon and the car is gone with one quick trade of check and keys. It’s over….Good-Bye Honda…. Hello Mini Cooper….
Now, I just need to wait for the mini to get here!
Bye-Bye Honda
Hello, MINI Copper S
