Today I traded my car…

For a sweeter ride!

Yamaha Vino!



Backstory:
So my current car I had since college (4 years total.) It was a 95 Ford Taurus (oh yes! :F ) But since moving up here I haven’t needed it. In the past 2 years I’ve driven it a MAXIMUM of 5 times… :screech: So I NEVER drove it but yet had to spend all this money on tags, maintenance, insurance (600$ a year!) and so on. It was a bitch to keep parked too :hii:. I hated it :punch: . It was expensive, never driven, breaking down (hello 12 years old!) and nothing but a PAIN. I didn’t need it but I didn’t like the idea of only having 1 car between Mike & I.

So a few weeks ago Mike suggested trading it in or selling it and buying a moped :girlquestion:

It was hard at first. IT WAS MY CAAAAR. :whaaaaaat: But the truth was there . It wouldn’t last much longer never being driven, and the moped was a fantastic alternative. :sprout: If I need the car for a doctor’s visit Mike could take the moped into work. I could also get to my train station on it and park it for free. Maryland’s/& DC’s moped laws are SO relaxed it’s a bit of a shock.

It’s going to take time getting used to driving it. It reminds me of my Waverunner days only if I fall instead of forgiving water I’ll smack hellish pavement. AAAAAHAHAHH!

:haha:

I’m so happy not having to take care of my car. Moped means no tags, no car insurance, no 1,000$ repairs, ANNNND when we move into the new house it can fit in the garage WITH our other car!! 1 snuggled up happy family with no need for street parking bullshit :good:

About 8 weeks ago I had to buy a new iPod nano to replace my extremely dead & old Shuffle… I knew last week they were announcing this… but, doesn’t make me FEEL any better though. *sad life*
