Nice cars

So I have a '96 Honda Accord and I love it. When I was in high school, it was the car I really wanted. Maybe a different color, but still it was what I wanted and now I have it. Other than that, there has only been 2 other cars that I have REALLY liked or wanted. In high school and college I really wanted an orange Xterra. I heart them. If gas wasn't so expensive, that is what I would have right now. There was a year or so in college that I also really wanted a Touareg. I still would like to have an Xterra and I think one day a Touareg can be my mom car. ANYWAYS, my car has had a series of unfortunate events over the last 2 months. It has been a little traumatizing. So my car needs to be fixed or I need to get a new one. I don't necessarily want to buy a new car as I am content with my car. It's strange how cars have become a status symbol. I mean, I obviously have a terrible job and terrible self worth or I would be driving a really nice car by now. It will be interesting to see how our economic crisis impacts peoples perspectives and peoples willingness to drop lots of money on a new car when the one they have works perfectly fine. I think for now I will keep my car that some might consider a piece and drive it happily until I all of the sudden get lots of money.
