I did not want to turn 21 with the same car I drove back in high-school. So I went looking for something fast & sporty, yet refined and comfortable. So from January 1999 to January 2000 I went and tried the 99’Acura CL 3.0, a 2000 BMW 328 w/sport package, a 99’Jaguar XK8, a 2000 Pontiac Firebird Formula and a 99’Cadillac Eldorado ETC. After giving each car a test drive, doing research on the models, and checking the sound systems that each one had with on of my CD’s (euro-dance does not sound good on most stereos) I chose the Cadillac as the one I would get. I was one my way to the dealer that January day when my father told me about this new car he had seen at the Toyota dealer in town. I took a ride over and they had just gotten in a 2000 Solara SLE in pearl white with tan leather and every option. She had 1.2miles on her and still had all the plastic from the trip covering her. The salesman said why don’t we take it for a drive. That was it. I was hooked on the car. I got back to the dealer and told them to do the paper work. I took it for a 36-month lease not knowing anything about Toyota and if I would still be happy with the car by the end of that time. I am now 23 and will be buying the car in January when my lease is up and have now begun to do a fair amount of modification to her knowing that she will be with me for a long time.
Most people ride in a car, but some of us actualy drive it.
