Oh yes we did ..
.. buy a car this weekend! When Tim and I moved to Germany last year, we wondered if we would need a car so we took a wait-and-see attitude. After 5 months of feeling virtually confined to a 2-kilometer vicinity of what is in walking distance from our house and becoming totally tired of the worse-than-ever grocery store near us, we’ve decided to take the plunge. Not on a BMW, not on a sports car, just on a conservative, little Opel Corsa! (with the necessary features for Tim …)
This car fits both our requirements, mine being that it should be reliable (year 2005, still under warranty) and good value for the money (first year of depreciation is already off); Tim’s being that it should have a CD player, electric windows and look a bit sharp. (You may be thinking, sharp? You call that sharp? My answer: you should have seen some of the other options we considered!)
So do tell: do you have a car and if so, what’s it like?
