Allow Me To Introduce You

...to my new car. It loves me already, I can tell. It's a 1999 VW Jetta, and I think I already mentioned the part about it having a V-6. Which means I shall have to work harder to keep from speeding. And now that it's officially in my possession, I can gloat about it. It's a manual, of course, and waaaay more fun to drive than the Corolla. Which is saying a lot, since I had loads of fun driving that.

See below for pictures which I stole off the dealership's website. And further commentary.

Outside:

It looks very good for six years old. The outside, at least, has been very well taken care of. I actually have to worry about people putting dings in my door now. The color was an added bonus; I would have bought it no matter the color, I think, but I really like that shade of green.

Inside:

The inside is well-kept-up, as well. An interior I will actually feel compelled to keep clean. XD

It should get fairly good gas mileage, although I won't know that for sure for another month or so. Between 23 and 28 mpg, I should think. All things considered, I'm insanely happy.

And there you have it. Ardith's First Car.
