I bought my first car about a month ago. 
It’s a 2005 Matrix XR, in silver (I wanted light blue, but there weren’t any on the lots. Silver works too.) I bought it because the gas mileage is decent, I like that the seats all fold down, I like the shape, and the price was manageable. So far, I’m reasonably happy. The six-disc changer strains the limits of my coordination while driving, but it’s a fun car.
The major blight on the poor thing has been the dealer plates (bright red “Michael’s Toyota”). Today my REAL Washington plates came in, and I finally got to take those off. The delightful part is the number that I got: 316 SUZ. It’s practically a vanity! I just need to figure out what the 316 stands for. 311 was my room number at Brown junior and senior year, so almost. Area code 316 is in Kansas, so that doesn’t apply at all. Kevin suggested Genesis 3:16 or Revelation 3:16… obviously I was amused.
