This little Red Car equals freedom for me and my teen daughter. Here is how...
At the beginning of the summer my daughter was feeling low, her boyfriend broke up with her, she had a lousy 'pizza place' job and was still driving only with her 'learners' permit. That learners permit means mom has to go with her everywhere or she has to walk 1/2 mile to the bus stop and hope it is on time and will get her there. So we got organized, we looked for a better job, and God Blessed, us she got two! One job was in an office for day part time and another one at a really nice restaurant 5 days a week for night (nice tips!). She worked all summer, night and day, she got tired, and mom got tired of driving with her everywhere. However, she did it! Mom did to. A bit over a week ago, she passed the state driving test! Whooho! And we began looking for a car. At first we were thinking "get a bomb" just a cheep thing to run around in, cheap insurance, something like a really old Honda, or VW. Then we saw this thing, standing out like a red button in a sea of white and gray. It was at a dealer, too much for us, we looked anyway, it was a used car. Mom (me) drove it, it was cool! But it was too much by almost $3,000. Oh well keep looking, and send a "thank you for letting us drive it" email to the nice salesman. A couple of days later... "Good news, we brought the price down". Wow! Now she has it! And now she can drive herself, mom can relax and have her own schedule. FREEDOM! for mom and teen daughter. She is so much happier now, work has it's rewards! God is so Good! Thank You Thank You...
