I make sure she has her oil changed when it's time, keep air in the tires & feed her gas regularly. It's a big responsibility but one that is very necessary if we want to get to work & have fun. Again---congratulations on you new job & your new friend. ♥♥♥GJ

Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA MY first car was a 89 jeep Cherokee limited, white with blue grey interior and leather seats, and had power windows and that was it! The thing drove like a MAC truck, and it leaked a quart of oil every day! And then it finally died 3 years ago and then I got my Honda accord-it was new to me, but it was used and I financed that—and it was the best thing I ever did. Financing is great for your credit! Paid my car off early, it was a good feeling! And I still have my Honda, only had It for 4 years, it’s a 98, grayish purple metallic color-we call it the purple people eater!

My friends want me to name it something "punk rock!" or "heavy metal!"...cause you know, my car totally screams both of those. haha. I do love the XM Radio. Especially the Christmas and Classic Vinyl stations. And the iPod jack is very cool, but also dangerous. I'm too afraid to change the song for fear I might crash while reaching for the iPod. Thanks for all the congrats!
