One damn good feeling is getting your first car. YOUR first car, not daddy's nice car. YOUR car.
Man does that not ever feel good, but then once you start putting money into it, it really sucks.
This weekend me and my girlfriend took are car in for an E-test and a Safety test. As for the results... well I wasn't too impressed.
The thing is about used cars is when you buy them, the seller will NEVER ... ever tell you every little disadvantage about the car.
We bought a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am Se, not too bad for a starter car. This car is 14 years old upon this day. I could have guessed that we should worry about rust, but the car looked so good on the inside and outside, that we just went with it. Now, it turns out that the brakelines were completely rusted, it passed the E-test no problem, but as for safety, we need new brake lines.
Brake lines seem like a small deal since they're not that hardly fixed but man are they expansive. We have to pay approximately 500$ for new brakelines and ''apparently'' the drums are too big on the breaks, but before we pay for that, I'm gonna look at that myself, before getting jipped off by these low end businesses.
Anyway other than that things are great with the car, it'll be on the road in no time.
