It seems like a lot is happening at once with my sons lately. They turned 17 a couple weeks ago, they are getting college material in the mail like crazy, one is working, the other is diligently looking for a job, they are driving (still with a learner's permit) and top of all that...Alex bought his first car this week.
It is a gray 1993 Mazda 626 with about 160,000 miles on it. We found it through our neighborhood email group. He saved up his own money from work and got it for $800. For the age of the car and the mileage it is in great condition. The owner kept receipts of all the work done on it and the people at the garage down the street were very impressed with the condition it is in. The only thing they said it needs is to have the belts replaced sometime soon.
I told Alex he will always remember his first car (mine was a brown 1980 Buick Skylark) and that he should really enjoy this time in life.
Congratulations, Alex. I am proud of you!
