I have a new . . .

CAR!!!!

It's not a new car but it is new to me!

I was reallly starting to freak the past week or so. The plan was for H to get a car sometime this month and then I would keep our current car until I could get something cheaper (our current car still has car payments that would be almost all of my child support money and it wouldn't be worth it). Well, about a week ago H said he wouldn't have enough money to try and get a car this month and that would mean he would need the car after we movie so he could get to work. That would leave Aiden and I stranded at my dad's house with no car (my dad only has a little 2 seater). So my mom told my dad I was freaking out and he sent me a craigslist add for this car. I told him I didn't have the money to buy a car right now but this one seemed like a really good deal. He replied with "Don't worry about it." He went to look at the car Saturday and bought it for me!!! Knowing my dad this was very unexpected and I am sooooo thankful!!!!! I haven't seen it in person yet though but I trust my dad made a good choice since he use to build and restore old cars. It isn't anything fancy but it drives and seems pretty nice for a 96 car!

I just had to share some of my good news with someone! I don't want to post it on FB right now.  


I love my crazy child!

    That is a link to the pic if it works lol

    Move date is June 26th. I hope to start moving boxes into storage before that though.

    I will be done with school next May! I can't take online courses so I really needed a car to be able to stay in school. I just hope the traffic over the skyway isn't too bad. Not looking forward to waking up extra early though!


    I love my crazy child!

  • That's awesome news Liz! Congrats!
  • Congrats Liz! If you ever want to do anything once you are down here, let me know. I am home all summer. Also, are you attending USF for school? There is a campus in Sarasota. I went for my bachelors. Maybe you could see if you could transfer.

  • Awesome!  I can't see the pic, what kind of car did you get?
  • GREAT NEWS LIZ!So happy this burden has been lifted. 

    And I thought the suggestion for the Sarasota campus of USF was a great one if that is where you are going.

    It is a 1996 Saturn. it's a dark green color with tinted windows. The inside is tan but looks really nice even for a car that is just a few years old so I'm sure they took good care of it. It has cranks for the windows so that will take some getting use to lol Esp when Aiden wants me to roll his window down. It does have working AC and it runs nice. And the body style doesn't look too old. "Beggars can't be choosers" but at least it is something I wont be embarrassed to drive around in lol.

    I started off at USF but had trouble getting the classes I needed so I go to St. Petersburg College now.

  • I drive over the skyway every day and there's hardly ever any traffic. Same thing coming home. It takes me 40 minutes to get from my house in North Palmetto to work, which is 10 or so blocks from the SPC on 66th Street by the mall.

    Awesome!  I used to have that same car I think - mine was the SC2 but the description sounds the same.  I really liked my car, it ran great and was a lot of fun to drive!  

  • Are you planning to move out earlier now that you have a car?  IDK how you are staying over there in Rat World when you now have an escape vehicle.
