I know what a Ford Escort looks like now! ^^
So, Mom and Dad brought brother's car today.
It's a deep red '99 Ford Escort. It was $2,500 and has 64.000 milage (like I know what that means). It's so cute! (Ok...maybe not the right adjective to describe his car. XD) It's used though, so it's not exactly too nice looking. Mom and I spent about two hours today cleaning and washing it and it's still a bit shitty to be honest. But it runs okay and that's the important thing.
It does have a sticker of the Deering High Rams on the back window though (the adversary for PHS bulldogs, where we go to school; ha, just thought that was funny when I got excited about getting driven to school in it and wondered if people would notice, but they probably wouldn't even glance at it. The only Serbian girl I know who went to Deering was its previous owner. My nationality tends to pick Portland High...since it's more diverse.)
Honestly, though it's so different from our car, it's going to take awhile to get used to it because it's a drive-stick as well (is that what it's called when you have to shift the gears while driving, I dunno?), as opposed to our Dodge Stratus, which isn't. The seats are also really low and the layout of the radio system is different, it's like gahhhh! What do you do?
>>Quite honestly, I really am not a car enthusiast, but this is all so exciting! I could stare at this car all day/night and talk about it...but well I can't. Blah.
I hope my brother gives me a ride around the block tomorrow...I did give him $50 for it since he was short of it!
EDIT: HOMG, I found this image of the car model and it looks exactly like the one we bought!
I think maybe the color is a bit brighter here and ours is more of a deeper hue...and you should picture it as more used and and not quite with the same paint job. Basically, what you'd then have is the same car.
But, more importantly, isn't it the CUTEST car you've ever seen?! I think I might like one of these some day... =^^=
