first new car

[jwolf7722]

i just bought my first new car today (2004 jeep rubicon) i have always wanted one and with the 4000 rebate i could not pass it up. there is nothing like the feeling of your first new car. this is way more than what i needed but i figure you only live once so live it up while you can.

Congrats, jwolf. Carpe diem.

Most people don't really feel like they've arrived until they have a new car. Enjoy.

Way to go! Say, a friend of mine just purchased one too! Quite the fancy Jeep. Hub lockers come standard on the Rubicon - very nice!

Bright yellow with black top. You can't miss him around here.

Do you do any 4 wheeling? Planning on it?

Understood.

But you may like this Jeep a lot better. I traded in a hot black on black Corvette for a 4X4 pickup truck several years ago. I've never looked back.

My first new car as in never owned by anybody else was a wee renault clio diesel. I've since had a couple more as I do a high mileage but my last one was drowned while driving through a flood. This idiot in a 4x4 coming towards me send a massive wave at me. Ours aren't as big as yours (4x4's I mean) but it's one of my pet hates. If you go off road fine, if you have a need to tow something like a caravan fine, but in a congested city for the school run driven by people that can't park aaargh!

I am seriously contemplating getting a motor bike as an alternative as our roads are amongst the most congested in the world. a 20mile journey at rush hour takes 40 minutes at the best of times, pick the rush hour and it can easily be two hours plus.

I can see the logic of the big super scooters-I need to get about to meetings-but in truth I fancy a motor bike, maybe I'll go for both, still cheaper than a new car.
