New Car!
After a solid week of searching, I finally have my first car. It's a silver 2005 Honda Civic with 50k miles and a 6-year extended warranty, so I'm feeling pretty comfortable with it. So the first day I had it, I drove -- guess where? -- to Barnes and Noble for a latte and a book. Kind of trippy to have to remember where I parked, and scary and wonderful to be driving solo after all this training.
Next steps are to get an apartment and to get an NC license, which requires retaking the damn written test. Ngh. Plodding along...

Your first car...ever? You mean you've been bicycling all over FoCo the past 3 years?

Yup! Never *needed* a car before this; I could bike anything that was up to 15-20 miles from my house in Ft. Collins, and in NYC you'd have to be insane to own a car when the subway is SO much better and faster.
