My first car was a silver 1991 Chevy Geo Storm, that I bought for $1000 my freshman year of college from a friend who was graduating and leaving the country. I called it my Geobaby
. It was in physically terrible shape; BIG dent on the driver's door and scratches on the passenger door. It didn't have AM/FM radio or anything fancy in it, but it did have air conditioning and heater.
It wasn't much to look at, but I was mighty proud of owning my very own car, especially because not too many freshmen have cars at the college I go to, due to limited parking spots allocated to freshmen at the dorms. It didn't last very long, though. It gave me so many problems that in the end I decided it just wasn't financially wise to keep the car, so I abandoned it at a junk lot after about 5 months.
