When I was 17 I got my first car - a 1991 Ford Escort hatchback...looking at this picture cracks me up because while this is not an actual picture of my car - my car looked almost exactly like this. The car was such a piece of crap - there was no air, it shook horribly if you went over 65mph and one time driving on the highway the hood actually popped open on me!!! All in all that car lasted me from my senior year in high school until after I graduated college. It took me back and forth to school for 3 1/2 years and all over New York State every summer visiting with friends and Jeremy. Of course I am glad that over the years I have been able to upgrade!
After college I bought for the first time ever my very own brand new car. No one helped me, no one co-signed, it was mine!!! I bought my Sentra back in 2003 and had it all the way up until 2009. I loved this car!! It was the car we drove home from our wedding in, it was the car we drove Riley home from the hospital in and it was the car that helped up move from Montgomery to Liverpool. Unfortunately the car had WELL over 100,000 miles 5 1/2 years later, so it was time to upgrade.
In the spring of 2009 Jeremy and I purchased another brand new car. We got a 2009 Hyundai Sonata . We are very happy with our purchase. I believe this is my very favorite car that I have owned (yes out of the whole 3 I have had). It is roomy, the trunk is huge - which was never a big deal to me until I had a kid, and overall it is a nice ride. This car has taken us all over the place including our first family vacation to OBX this past summer. We're hoping to keep this car for another few years. But the real secret is maybe in another year or 2 Jeremy can have it as his car and we can upgrade again!!! ;)
