Destructive Chaos

My first car!

My dad went out to buy a new car (to improve his trip to work - but we all know he wanted a new car). Anyway, enough about his car - that’s not important here - even though it’s really really really nice! Like a brand new jet (and it’s hybrid for all you tree huggers).

Since he bought a new car and the Neon is to old and has to many miles on it to get any significat money back my dad has past the car on to me! Woo! It’s stock right now, but you know me, I love cars and what you can do to them so I’ve already been looking on eBay and other sites to see what others have done to their Neons. I can tell you for sure I’ll be putting speakers in first thing .  I’ve been looking at neons for under the dash, and below the seats - they’re pretty cheap to buy, but I don’t know what installation is like. Installing the speakers is no problem, I know people that work at Future shop and others that have been doing it for years.

My car is a 97-98 Plymouth  Neon with chipped white paint (as all the Neons have). 4 cyl 5 speed manual. Great condition. No coffee stains or cigar burns on the seats. A few cracks in the windshield but that’s fine, they’re not that major.

 But before I can get to drive the car I need to get a job to pay the massive insurance this beast is going to have. It’s going to be $1300 a year - because I’m a primary driver :S. So the job hunt starts tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I will be handing in an application at Giant Tiger! (Yes mom, I’m really doing it - so lay off).

This afternoon I cleaned the inside of the car, now it’s extremely clean! I spent two and a half hours just cleaning the inside. I love this car - I can’t even drive it yet and I love it so much. It’s like my unborn baby. Tomorrow afternoon I will be armoral’ing the inside to make it shinny, then I’ll hook the power washer up and take all the paint off… oh I mean dirt, that’s right, it is really white - silly me.

Some of you (a select few) may be wondering “What about your hermano? Do you have to share?”. The answer to that one is.. yes. But that’s not for another 4 years, so I don’t know, we’ll see how that works out. Eric thinks the car will be past on to him when he’s 16, that means I’d only have the car for 1 year. Hmm, I don’t think so. I think we’ll just stick with sharing for now. Maybe I’ll buy him a scooter - that’ll get him away from the car right? Ha. Yeah right.

Anyway, I’ll post pictures of the inside of the car tomorrow to show off my clean job. And of course the outside before and after pictures of the dirty-paint removal. I swear that thing hasn’t been cleaned for months, maybe even a year.

I hope you enjoyed reading this! Post your comments cause I love reading them!

In closing, anyone got gas money? Happy mothers day - to the mothers of course! Love you mommy!
