my baby is back

Having my baby back.

When I first got my license at age 16, I drove my dad’s 2002 GMC Sierra. I drove that thing all throughout junior and senior year and had great memories with it. I started working halfway through senior year and had a steady cash flow so I could start car searching. I found a 2015 Chevy Cruze and fell in love. It was a rental car before I bought it so it was kept up nicely and I bought it that day. It was the first thing that I have that I can say I worked for. I’ve worked hard to get to where I am and my car is one of the few things that I own that is a sum of all my accomplishments. In January, however, I got into my first accident. It wasn’t anything serious. No one was hurt but my car had a huge eye sore on the rear. When I got into the accident I felt like shit. As silly as it sounds, I honestly cried looking at my car with the damage. So, for the last couple of months, I have been driving my car with the damaged rear and I finally got it fixed this last week. The Monday of spring break was the day I dropped it off. And for two weeks I had to drive my dad’s truck again. I thought my Cruze would be done by Friday so I can drive my own car to school. that did not happen and they had it longer than I expected. So, I had to drive the truck to school. I felt so uncomfortable trying to adjust to the size and lack of mobility in the truck. The day I got my car back I was so happy. I was finally driving my baby around again, all fixed up and freshly washed. It’s also nice spending 30 bucks a week for a full tank rather than 65.
