New Car
Well, I finally got a new car, as well. I ended up with a Black 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX Station Wagon. It is pretty awesome, actually - I really like it. It is reasonable fast, holds a lot of stuff, and is 4WD (which is apparently quite important around here).
I spent a few days fixing it up a bit - I gave it a good washing, a little polish, and a waxing. I can't say it looks perfect, but it is better than before! I was spoiled with my last car's awesome paint, but this is more of a functional car regardless.
The CD player was broken, so I had to replace it with a new one, which luckily plays MP3 CDs and has an AUX input, so it is quite nice as it happens. The speakers could be better, but I'll live.
It is actually really hard to complain at all, as I only paid $3850 NZD which is about $2k USD.
I expect to have a lot of fun with this car!
