New Car

On September 30th, 2007 I became a proud owner of a 2008 Volkswagon Jetta. This was the first car I purchased on my own. It is a great car to drive, especially during my hour each way commute. I loved having a new car - the new car smell, the paper license plate from the dealer to show it was brand new and how cute I looked behind the wheel.

When my real license plate came in the mail I was so sad. This means I didn't have a new car anymore and my car would look like every other new Jetta on the street. At that moment I decided I would wait until 2008 to put on my plates. Afterall, my car was a 2008, so I needed to keep the new look until then.

Yesterday, February 10th, 2008, I placed my official lisense plates from the DMV on my car. Since my car hit 5,000 earlier in the week, I decided it was time. While my car may not have the paper license plates to prove its new, I know in my heart it is still brand new.
