I got a car!
Mmph… lots of exclamation points in blogpost titles lately. But no matter. I finally was able to buy a car. It’s a ’99 Toyota 4Runner– silver, with the tow package and luggage rack. Only 63,000 miles, and it’s sweeeeet. I still need some more money to pay it off, but I’m getting there. So beautiful… and I WORKED for it, for every dime and dollar.
Check out just how good-looking it is (I think it’s quite spiffy, myself)… and see why I’m not allowed to drive it until after school is out :p
Nice….. car there Seth.
Good job earning it too. it must have taken a long time. Maybe someday you can get a nice sports car
Woah… Sethmobile.
Signature-worthy at IF
Hmm… just to clarify, so people don’t think I’m lacking brainpower-wise. The car is being fixed… that was just the only way I could afford one this nice. I’m not going to drive it like that :p
Plus, it’s much more fun to show that picture and see what people think
After you fix it, you should paint it. then pimp it out, get is some shocks, rotating rims, The works. lol
Yes… hydrolics for Seth… and we can get some nitrus oxide…
i thought it was a joke when i first saw it… perhaps its just because fixing up wrecked cars doesn’t happen so often in the UK.
Well, i The USA most cars aren’t fixed at all. Atleast in Virginia.
Wow…yeah, that is pretty shocking at first glance.
So yes, it’s 3:48 AM and I just realized that I don’t need to be pulling an all-nighter right now for a take-home midterm that’s due _Friday_ at 5 PM, not _Thursday_ at 5 PM. Bah!
Also, thanks for the linkage, and kudos on all that scholarship stuff. I always wanted to get into the Presidential Scholars thing, but I could never get any information about it from administrators/teachers/secretaries/principals et al., so I never did figure out whether it was something I could’ve applied for or whether I had to be nominated for it, and then it was too late…not that I’m bitter…it’s been 2 years now…I also applied for the Elks deal, and sure didn’t get it, so again, kudos!
(*Sigh* I should get over my hang-ups over those little things I didn’t get senior year – I did get the stuff that counts, I suppose. That’s not _your_ problem, though.)
I just realized, though, that the link you’ve got there won’t always work – due to some anomaly of the file system, the http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~mjbauer/blog/ thing does sort of work to get to that page, but it doesn’t necessarily load right. To have it always work right, try http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~mjbauer/blog.html – that should get it.
Anyway, I’m just happy to be linked! Yay!
Nice Seth! And congrats on working for it!!! Can’t wait to see how it looks when it’s fixed and you are driving it!
PS–I absolutely love silver 4-Runners!!!
Wow, how did you fix up the car? I have a slight structural damage to mine too (slight left cant in the the rear => 0.7 thrust angle; 0 being perfectly perpendicular to the front). I checked out your pics and was wondering why you got the pre 99 front bumper (96-98 had different front bumper than 99-02)? I got 99 4Runner (also silver) at at great deal in Feb 2005 with 62000 miles from a private seller (thus the slight structural damage
). I just got a new set of A/T tires and BudBuilt skidplates+bellypan underarmor so I can go 4 wheeling. Awesome utility vehicle that take me anywhere!
