Vehicles

I'm not a huge car person - I don't drool over car shows, specs, or mods. But I do like cars that are shiny, run smoothly, and hold up to all the abuse I can throw at them.

I have a black 1999 Toyota Corolla and it's been fantastic; accelerates like nobody's business, handles well, and I have 365,700 Km on it. Yes, you heard me right. It is my baby, and I love her so; but it's time to put her down and get a new car. The engine works fine, but as part of this Drive Clean test thing that all cars older than 3 years have to do, she won't cut it. So, my mom decided yesterday to buy a new car! :D She said it was important to her to have me drive a safe(er) car when I go to work. Aww.

This car isn't exclusively mine, but there is an unspoken agreement that I will be driving it most of the time. We got a great deal on a new 2013 Toyota Corolla with a bunch of fun extras in it, so I'm really stoked. It's going to be a magnetic grey metallic colour, so that'll be fun. I'll be getting her (I like how I assume it's a girl) in about a week, so I'm mega excited! My experience with Toyotas have been only amazing, so I am really glad we're getting another Toyota car; it may not be as flashy or sporty looking as Mazda3 or anything, but they certainly are reliable work horses -- take it from me, we have two Toyota vehicles, and they've never protested at the amount of mileage we've put on them!
