Default Set backs.....(sighs)

Well guys, i got some bad news.

I wont be getting an audi as a first car, I have the money, but im young, i dont have the comfort of having that extra grand or two for a "just in case". I need something reliable, not something i have to service and worry about all the time for it to be reliable.

I actually got hooked up really good, I'll be driving a 2005 Impala (base model), i know its kinda ugly, but i got it for 1500$, whose gonna deny that? It was an old work car of my fathers business, and the dealership offered him 1250 for a trade in for it, so i figured why not take this for now?

I DUB THEE..... THELMA!!

It's 130,000. Which is kinda high, Its all stock, I'm gonna replace the UIM and LIM's on it just for good measure, thats really the only thing to worry about with these things.

My first 5 years of driving were in $500 **** boxes that I had to fix all the time.

Now I've moved up to a $12,000 **** box that I have to fix all the time. I miss those early days....
