And dood, you need to get a Beetle, pronto! You can get them for cheap online/eBay. Get movin!
Its not me, its the parent-units. More or less, they want me to wait until highschool graduation (May-June). Glass half full, I would have had Missy for a complete 3 years and I could find a better paying job by then to pay off NB faster.

Oh and on the 5speed, Its only traffic sometimes, but once it hits, it hits hard! I'm most likely going to get the 5speed anyway. I figure, I could do all my major practicing at night with no traffic and take another family member's car if I need to go somewhere before I "master" it.

I learned on a late 80s early 90s mustang 5.0 with a slipping clutch that literally required pressing it through the floor to engage it! I practice on it every now an then too. Maybe tomorrow

Curby visits a park.

Looks like I'm going to have to re-paint the lower bumper parts (in black). They are already worn.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

Curby looks handsome, as always He needs to see some green grass and flowers, though. As do I

I know! The scenery right now is so blah. I'm craving green stuff.

Really, So I guess I should type this in green then. That was a great picture bud Iowa, Snow, and Curby all look great together! Good luck repainting the lower valence when you do attempt it again.

Nice to see Curby again, even if he is smaller than I remembered!
