OMG SO Excited! I finally bought my very first car!!!

I am so happy, today Dan is going to give his mom my money and her car will be mine! :D This is my first car ever, and I am so happy. I have been waiting for the rest of my settlement so I could get a car, and Dans mom offered me this one for only $1400.

I cannot wait to get my license. No I do not know how to drive yet. :o But we are going out this weekend to teach me how. I mean I know how to steer and everything lol, but don't know everything. SO I am SOOOOOOOOOOO happy! :D :D :D

Here is a pic. :)

Congratulations! I bet this will make things easier for you doing errands, getting to work, taking care of Dylan's needs...

Fingers crossed here that you'll be a natural at learning this skill!

Now remember when you get your license and are able to drive the car by yourself you must name it...a car needs a name. My cars name is Syd, Syd the Sentra.

Congratulations, Cass! The car is beautiful too! I have a little lighter silver Jeep Grand Cherokee and I love it. Scott drove an Olds Bravada (that is what it is, isn't it?) for a long time. His was fire engine red! I remember the car and him, but didn't know him at that time!!! :)

Good luck!!

hehe you read my mine perfectly! I am getting this car just in time for the RatPacNW show next month! :D It has enough room to fit cages, and a dog! Of course we are still looking for another pooch. They had a purebred Great Dane in the paper yesterday, but that's way too big for this place. Although I have ALWAYS wanted one, lol. :p

The car has air conditioning so it's safe for taking the pets in, so they do not overheat. It gets so hot here sometimes and it's not too safe taking the kitties to the vet etc. That was my main priority, AC!

I sure hope so. A few years ago my brothers ex gf tried teaching me and my younger brother drove better than me. :o

Yes this will be so much easier getting around with Dylan and to work! I actually got laid off work because three people came back for the summer, and since I was a "single" mother who had to take care of Dylan and did not want to work full time, they kept the other girl and not me. They actually made it a point to go on and talk about how I can get so much "assistance" because I am a single mom, and how I have so much going on with my father and all. I do not want assistance! I do not need help from people, I can do it on my own with my family. I hate when people automatically think that just because you are not married that your family cannot support itself. Drives me nuts!:mad: Anyways, I go back in November, after all the other people leave. :rolleyes: I haven't decided if I want to go back though because some of the things they do there (Vet Clinic) are questionable to me.

For instance, the main vets have this weird idea that any pet they have can br thrown away. :rolleyes: His wife got pregnant with twins and they gave away ALL their animals besides their lemurs!!! If I had to get rid of any animal I would keep my cats and dogs (they gave away their Golden Retriever, a poodle and their siamese cat Ping) and find the monkies new homes. I was very dissapointed in them for doing that. I would have taken their Golden right away had I known what was happening. :(

Anyways, I may get a job at Zany Zoo working with the Petting Zoo and childrens parties etc. But I need to drive first. My old boss keeps bugging me to take this job, but I just need to have my license. The girl who is currently doing the job just found out she is pregnant and does not want her around the exotics there.

But my main thing is that I will be more independent, and be able to get out with Dylan. I can take him to his childrens class so he can play with kids his own age, and take him to feed the ducks. Plus, hehe, I will be able to go to the petshop whenever I want to save more ratties. :p :D I've saved so many lives there, because I convince them to put them in the pet tank lol.

Sorry to ramble on this morning, I guess I have a lot of energy. :o

Yep that's what it is! It's a 93. The mileage is only around 60,000 miles so not that bad. As long as it can get me to the Rat shows, and possibly to California (ooh now I can talk Dan into driving to see my family!!! :D) then I am happy.

My mother does not drive either. I have been waiting forever to have my own car. I have been saving up stickers for 5 years to put on my bumper lol. :rolleyes:

Cool, you're going to learn how to drive, :D I'm actually in the middle of learning how to drive also ( I drive in the yard, big yard 2 acres) even though I can't get my licsence(sp?) for three more years:p :( :rolleyes: Hey 13 year olds should be allowed to drive too;)

Wow, I hadn't seen photos of Dylan in a while! What a big boy he's gotten to be.

He looks very good natured and healthy. How old is he: going on two this autumn, right?

Yes! He is going to be two years old in November, the 25th. :eek: :( I never imagined the time would go by so fast. Today I finished our photo album of him. All his baby pictures bring back so many memories. I am actually going to post some new pics of him later on today......as I have some REALLY cute ones!

Good news about the car!! Well actually GREAT news! Today we go pick it up, Dan gave his mom the money, and get this, we only had to pay $880 bucks!!!!:D :D :D Isn't that awesome? I was so stoked when she told us that last night. We gave her money but were going to still owe her a little bit, but she called last night and said not to worry about it. Wheeeeeee!:D
