So KoF: MI2 has been released in Japan. I really hope there's a US relase, but for now, el Dash no Chris BETTER have gotten his copy. Or he'll face my wrath for keeping me from my Billy fix.

In the past, I've really disliked driving. I get distracted easily, and while I had a clean driving record, the incident where I ended up in an empty house's lawn still haunts me. Stupid DP threatening to spill. However, reading and playing Initial D is rekindling my desire to drive again, though not like they do. If I get some practice in, I should be all right to take the driving exam. It still puzzles me that you have to have a license to get a car here, but you have to have a car to get the license. Meaning I get to borrow someone else's car! -_-;;

The car situation's gonna be fun. If it's not Dash no Chris harping me to buy American, it's Taiki pushing me to go import. So basically no matter what I buy, I'm gonna be fucked either way.

Right, I'm going straight to Consumer Reports. I'm gonna get a car I like, that won't put a dent in my wallet for gas and/or repairs, and will look awesome. If it's gonna be American, so be it. If it's import, so be it.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it! :D

My car was only 5K! Pretty cheap condiering all the stuff I wanna eventually do to it to make it a performance car.

Ahh, someday.

My new shocks come in tomorrow!

Where'd you score such a deal? :D I wouldn't mind getting a used car and fixing it myself. At least I'll learn more about the car's mechanics and such.

I found my car on Autotrader.com, I think. I had shopped around a bit before settling on her. I ALMOST got a 318ti, but the dealer was like "You can't test drive it to a mechanic's so he can look at it, and the sale is final if you DO buy it." SO I was like "Screw this" and I found a better car CHEAPER. I got a 325is 2-door with leather interior and power everything! I'll swear by that website. <333

Also, you really DO learn more about cars if you take the time to buy used and fix 'em up on your own. I knew absolutely nothing about cars when I got mine. Now I'm pretty good with knowing about BMWs. And having a BMW enthusiast for a boyfriend doesn't hurt. We have tons of books and magazines on them. AND I might actually take my car out onto the race track this summer! Yeeeaaaah!!

And here's my car!

Well, not MY car, but the make and model of my car.

ISN'T SHE LOVELY? *sparkles*

hey! I'm just saying that imports are usually made with a much higher build quality given time and that's really where you should be headed for a first car. >.>;

Be that as it may, I still gotta look into the costs of parts and maintenance. When something has a 1 in 4,000 chance in breaking down, it means it has a 1 in 3 chance of breaking down on me. :p
