Give a man a car and he will drive away. Teach a man to drive and he will...drive away?

If you can think of a better way to say that, please strap your thinking caps on and help me out here. Thanks.

So now that I've gotten a new car I look at people in beat up cars with such pity. I know, it wasn't too long ago that I was pushing an accident riddled vehicle with a door missing but those days are gone!

When you have a new car you start to do things differently. For instance, it doesn't matter how high the gas prices are these days, I'm driving my car everywhere! And don't get me wrong, it's not to show it off. I'm just used to driving without AC and now that I have it, I practically live in my car.

Speaking of showing off your car, have you guys ever gotten a new whip and have the urge to drive past your old high school? As if someone's gonna recognize you! You graduated in 1987 - who are you trying to impress, the teachers?! But I do it all the time. And what pisses me off is how some students will have nicer cars anyway. Like one day I saw this girl driving a BMW with GO BULLDOGS! painted on the windows.

Why do high school graduates get celebrated so much? Some students get new cars at their graduation, some get huge parties, big trips, money, etc. Why? You did what you're supposed to do!

Maybe I'm bitter because all I got at my high school graduation was a baby. And an army recruiter trying to ship me off to Fort Jackson. I'd never been so happy to be pregnant...the rest was downhill from there.

Instead of going to the army, I went off to experience the campus life. I wasn't visibly pregnant yet so I did things the way every other student did. I ate alot of takeout, went to alot of parties, and drank alot of alcohol. I know, I know - I wasn't 21 yet, right?

But then as the semester came to a close reality set in. My belly was huge and I knew I wouldn't continue to the next semester. Community college here I come.

So now, after years of mediocracy, I finally got my new car. Well, it's not brand new but newer than my old car. But the point is I got it all by myself... my very own 1993 Escalade. What's up with that?

Umm....That's amazing!!! You do know the Escalade didn't start being made until 1999, right?!?! I'd see if I could take that back. I think they just put a Cadillac logo on a Geo Tracker. I'm just yanking your nipple!!!! Glad to have you back!!
