Okay, so I'm on my 2nd car. My first car was a gift from my parents, it was a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix. It was gray, and had about 96,000 miles on it when I received it. Well when I was seventeen and a half some drunk decided to drive right into the front of my car while I was on the way home from my ex's house at 3 in the morning. It had about 119,500 miles on it, or at least I think. The head on collision landed me in a neck brace and with a broken leg, and the car was totaled. After collecting the money on my insurance I went out and bought a cheaper car, it was a 1996 Acura Integra Special Edition (which means its the 4 door version not the 2 door one). It was green and had around 208,000 miles on it, I know its a lot, but I bought the car to just last me through cosmetology school. Well I graduated from cosmetology school, and with raising gas prices I decided to keep the car, since it got between 29 to 31 miles to the gallon. Well last week we got some pretty insane storms in MN, and on my way home from work I lost control due to my bald front tires, since I didn't have the money to replace them. I attempted to regain control, but the car went into the ditch, rolling twice, and coming to a rest right side up. The car was totaled, and now I'm looking to buy a new car, but I need . I can't decide what to buy, considering I haven't had much experience in buying a car, and my dad refuse to , since I was stupid enough to drive my car with bald tires. I don't buy new, only used, so please no new cars. Yesterday (7/13/08) I went and looked at some cars with my good friend Jill, well her and I having no smarts about cars, just picked out cars based on looks. Here is a list of some of my favorites...
