Melissa bought herself a car....

[carole]

My 16 and half yr old daughter Melissa has been saving hard for her first car,and after much searching by herself and her Dad we finally found one that fitted her budget and was in reasonably good order, it is not perfect and has a few minor dents and scrapes by the previous owner, but mechanically it is sound,my husband checked it out first ,then took it to our mechanic,it just needs the rear brakes fixed to get a warrant, so hubby is on holiday and is getting on to that today, by Friday it should be on the road, with my daughter behind the wheel, it is so scarey.

She has been driving for over year now, but it is still worrying for parents,it is the other idiots out there one has to worry about, just saw a crash on our corner yesterday, two young girls, in both cars, one from overseas, who obviously did not know the road rules, causing the accident, and one of the passengers rather badly hurt.

Anyhow here is a pic of the beast as Melissa refers it to, it is a 1991 Nissan Bluebird Arx,1.8 litre, asking price was $1500, we offered $1300 but took it down to $1100 because of the brakes issue, and was accepted, Melissa earned every single dollar, it seems huge to me, but she has only been driving our car which is the same cc's and only slightly shorter in length, i guess i just expected her first car to be a little hatchback or something.

Anyhow we bought her the new car seat covers as a little present,she is off to pick u some fluffly black dices today lol.,we have it all insured third party for fire and theft, so just up to Dad to get it up and running now,now pressure lol.

Well will have no problem figuring out what to buy her for future birthdays and xmas's now, something for the car, she wants, spinners,lights underneath,GPS, backing camera, all on the wish list lol. Next she will be wanting those personal plates, with Final Fantasy no doubt on them.

So here it the BEAST.
