A New Car

It was amazing, something that really caught me off guard. I had been travelling around the place in an old beat-up car. It was enough to get me around but noisy, without a stereo, and with windows that fogged up every time it rained… and it just so happened that it was raining almost the entire first week that I have been here.

Then my mate asked me if I would like a better car to travel around in. It seemed reasonable, and since he was in a position where he could make such an offer, I accepted. Two days later, on the Monday, I rocked up to his work place and dropped off my old beast of a car. He handed me the keys and showed me the car. I could hardly believe it. Here was a brand new vehicle, with only 800 kms on the clock.

A new car, quiet and powerful that handles like a dream, complete with a CD player with steering wheel controls and lots of other goodies. A remote control for locking and unlocking, power windows and climate control airconditioning. Wow, I could not have asked for more and it is mine until I go again. Now that is a good mate for ya. Good on ya Eric, thanks heaps mate.
