My First Car

I remember when I got my license, I was very proud. I walked to my dad with a smile on my face. All the practice with him had paid off. There was just one problem: I didn’t have a car. I didn’t want to ask my dad for one right away, but I wanted start driving right away. That afternoon I approached him about the situation and he said we would begin looking in two weeks. That was a lie. A month had elapsed since my victory with the DMV. I was growing agitated because the rest of my friends were already driving themselves around and I wanted to do the same. When we did begin to look, it seemed I would never find a decent car at a reasonable price. We spent another two weeks looking at cars that weren’t even worth our time. One day as we were driving home we passed a private dealership where we saw a green Range Rover for a decent price. I instantly fell in love and I remember lusting after it like it was a beautiful woman. I pointed it out to my father and we pulled over. The dealership appeared to be closed but when we neared the vehicle behind the fence, a man popped out. He invited us into the dealership to see the car. It was in excellent shape. The engine appeared to be in pristine shape. The paint looked brand new and the interior was gorgeous. It was a 1999 model but it was well taken care of. When he dropped the price on my father, he seemed impressed by the deal. I was hoping that he would decide that this would be his choice for me. He told the dealer he would return to give it another look. Sure enough he told me he would buy the Range Rover. I was very happy and I saw myself riding in style. He then told me that he was going to buy it for himself and he was going to give me his 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I didn’t mind that either. I was just happy to have a car. The first time I drove by myself, I turned up the radio and went cruising by the beach after crusing through the freeway. Ever since the, the Jeep has been mine and I have made many memories while driving in it and just in it as well.
