We start the world on out backs just laying on floors, when we grow we move from that to our tummy's evolves from that to more. As time flies by we begin to crawl and our means of transportation is our hands and feet. We pull our selves up to our feet and start walking. As we master that mean of transportation we run, job, or walk. So already we are about 12 or 18 months and we have mastered 3 means of getting from place to place, rolling from back to front, crawling, and walking. As we grow with age we want more and easier ways of transportation.
I started with wanting a bike mastered that many times around our neighborhood. I rode up and down the block many times. I rode back and forth to my elementary school and my place.
As I grew I saw friends having different modes f transportation ranging from roller blades to scooters. So I begged and begged my parents to get me a scooter. Until one Christmas I finally got one! The bike was put to the way side and I used the scooter. It wasn't until I rode my scooter to a friends and got really tired I knew the scooter was fine around the block but not for long distances that is when I alternated from bike to scooter.
In between having the bike and scooter I was given a I thought that was the best thing for me.
Once I grew more and more and moved from in town to the where we lived for a long time out past the airport in EGYPT. About two years living there my dad got me a 4-wheeler. That was the best thing on 4 wheels I had ever had. I would drive the 4 wheeler up to the bus stop, hid it under the brush near the gate. This was my favorite so far because I took it off road quite a few times. I rode it fast and traveled to many different areas I never knew of, one of my favorites was riding up and over the hill finding the many places the deer would bed down in out area.
The next thing I was in was a 1984 Chevy Chevette, a blue rusted, 2 door car. I learned to drive in this car. It was a stick shift car and I drove it for a good year before my dad got me into a 1983 Chevy Blazer. Grey, 2 door care automatic this was really nice to drive I was able to get 11 people and 3 bikes into the car. It was once car I drove for a long time. After awhile I met my future husband Russell and he introduced me to my first 90's car. He had a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix. A 2 door silver car we drove that forever. W had this care from when we met in 2009 to a little after we got married in 2010 and HE got me pregnant, we decided the 2 door car was not the best for a family since I broke my back so many times getting my nieces in and out of the car. In about January 2011 we bought a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, this was one nice car we enjoyed. My husband and my dad spent a very cold night to replace the heater core. We had that Jeep for a few months till my husband decided to got to Cheep Cars and financed a 2001 Dodge Ram truck in September 2011. I loved this truck. I miss the truck. This was one nice truck we got some crap for getting a dodge but my husband had been a Mopar fan for a long time. I stand with my husband. We had the truck for awhile and Russ my husband found a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix in may 2012, I think when he saw this for a good deal we decided it was the car we would have a long time and use for road trips and what not. Then at the end of 2012 Russ found a 1998 Ford Expedition this was nice his dream was to have a nice car where he could take our family and more on road trips. We really never did that though since we could not afford to go on trips. Had the Expy for a short while and sold it off to a friend in 2013 when they were interested in the big rig. We went down to one vehicle to save money. Realizing now in 2014 that we were driving a 2007 car around that had $8000 on a loan in a circle for $500 a month. This did not make sense to us. We did the logical thing and started to look for a reasonably priced vehicle we can replace the Grand Prix with and we would eventually sell our car and get out of the loan we have on the car. Today we found a vehicle that we will have until we are debt free, AND have cash in hand to buy a car outright. So now we are in a 1998 Chevy Tahoe and this we have no loan on. We hope to be able to sell our Grand Prix for what our loan is and finally have a good amount of money in our pocket. Not to have to struggle with paying our bills and be able to have good amount of cash flow for nice date nights with my husband.
I am so glad to have found a Chevy we can enjoy and not have a CAR PAYMENT!!!
