I have been having some serious car withdrawal lately so I decided to buy a new one! Well it wasn't quite that clean cut- a couple who works here at Auski wanted to sell their car and I was interested from the start but this other girl who has worked here longer than me said so first, so I figured the polite thing to do was to back out gracefully. Well she changed her mind so the next day I made an offer. I am now the proud owner of a 1997 Nissan Pulsar hatchback. It has a lot of get up and go and the best part is I can lay down in the back seat (essential for my hobo lifestyle). It was only $2000 and is in very good condition- they needed to sell it because they are taking off for a trip around the world so will have little need for it in the next several months. To compensate for excess fuel costs, I have signed up for an extra week here, so my final departure will be March 27. I figure that things will be a little more bearable now that I can actually leave the premesis on my days off and can stop singing "Folsum Prison Blues" in my head all the time. Current potential names for the new baby include: Zippy, Mini-Bullet (it is the same colour and shape as my mom's minivan, Bullet), or my personal favorite, the Recession-Mobile. What do you think?
-A.
