A New Car Named Alice

So yesterday we purchased our first car as a couple. My husband and I were so excited. Now our old car.. Bless his soul.. was named Haggard. His driver door did not open, we replaced: the starter (twice), the serpentine belt (twice), the alternator, wiper blades, filter, battery, cables.... ETC ETC. He was falling apart and we did not have enough to get a new car. Plus we loved Haggard. He has been so good to us. Even though he has died multiple times, he has been miraculously resurrected time after time! We finally decided about three months ago that it was time to get a new car. Problem 1: We have no money. Problem 2: we have no credit history. See banks are funny that way. They want you to get credit history, but they will not give you any loans to build your history unless you have credit history. Kinda like the employer that will only hire someone with experience, but you cannot get experience unless you get hired! So we found an amazing bank who finally allowed us a loan, and we purchased the car we have wanted. It is BEAUTIFUL! So my husband picks me up from work last night and we start to drive around in our brand new car.... And there was nowhere to go. See we live in a small town where everything closes early. So off at 11 and surprise surprise, there's nowhere for us to drive our beautiful new car to. (well new USED car!) So we just drove up and down the streets, enjoying the NO NOISE that does not come from the engine, the brakes that actually brake when you step on it, the car that actually drives when you put it in reverse and the wheels that actually grip the road! What a wonderful life...
