I just purchased my first car today. I've never needed a car before because paying for Uber was cheaper, but now with my new job, transportation costs will be lower with a car.
I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've heard about the stress that comes with driving, but never experienced it with a brand new car that I just purchased.
I'm also trying to find a good name for the car, but it should come to me in due time. Overall, I think it's worth it and that I'll hopefully feel less stressed the more I drive.
My driving instructor always used to say "for all its faults, a car is still highly addictive", and he's totally right. But of course how much you enjoy driving it depends on where and how much you do that. Congrats anyway! What type of car is it, and what style of name did you have in mind?
It's a Nissan Kicks SV, compact crossover, 122hp/FWD. I also chose it for storing my luggage when moving or traveling.
I do like the noise it makes when accelerating and it reminds me of a small dog barking at something 5x it's size. The car feels light and smooth when driving, as well. I'm heading in that direction so, if you have any suggestions, let me know.
Sounds like both a practical and fun car! Here's to many adventures with it.
As for the name, I have no idea. For some reason, Pierre comes to mind. Maybe because Nissan is french nowadays, or maybe I've just rewatched too many episodes of Danger 5 this week.
