* The first car I drove was a Pontiac Sunbird. My grandmother had always been the family driver, but she sold her car and got a new one. We didn't have a lot of extra money to put toward a new one, so we called the Blue Motor Car Lot and they sent us to this little house that said "car showroom" on the outside. The man at the window looked really old and shaggy, with glasses sliding down his nose as he squinted at me from behind those thick lenses. Inside it smelled like gas and rubber tires. "So what sort of car do you want?" he said. "A Pontiac Sunbird," I said. "And you can't tell my grandmother about this." He looked like he was about to burst out laughing, but the old lady at the counter wasn't very happy either. She told me not to make jokes about cars and money, and not to lie because she'd bet that I wouldn't bring it back after the first week if I brought it back. As she talked to me like that, I could feel myself getting madder, but then she gave me a long list of options for the brand instead of just one type. So I told her I'd think about it, but no way was I going to pay any of those prices. Finally she said okay to the one the man gave me, because she didn't want to chase me all over town for a car I hadn't even started looking at yet. It looked small and slow, but it was the only one that fit in my budget. When I got back home, my grandmother was already in her bright red rose-patterned robe with her big glasses whooshing around the room. She had that look on her face like she had just won a million dollars. "So you got a new car," she said. "Sort of," I said. "I still have to buy it once I get the money." "When will that be?" she asked. I told her it would be a while, and she groaned and said that she was going back to sleep. As soon as my grandmother was gone, I started thinking a lot about the car and how much money it would cost me to get my own license plate. When you go to buy a plate for a new car, they always ask you if you've had your license long enough, but if you tell them how long it's been, they make you wait extra time as punishment for being so young. I don't think the car was on sale for very long, because it was gone before I got to my new class. It didn't make me mad, though, because I had enough money for the license plate for that month. I took my new car out to some parking lots that had a lot of other people's cars in them. Just like in the commercials where you're supposed to be safer by keeping your doors locked, someone would always forget their keys and lock their doors while they were at the store. When I got out of my car and ran over to them, they would unlock it so fast you'd think they were being chased away by demons. cfa1e77820
