My New Car
My car just before heading for parts West.
Though DC's public transportation system is fantastic, it does have some shortcomings, especially if you want to get beyond the beltway and explore. With that in mind, I wanted to find a car that was sporty but not useless for errands, and I think I've found that in this one.
The car had 22 miles on it at the dealership, and I've expanded that to 240 miles or so. Though I won't drive much during the weeks, I'll probably add miles during the weekends (I estimated about 1,000 miles a month at most).
So expect me to color in more of the states on my travels page...starting with today's adventure to West Virginia.

That's the thing about this area: it has a very dense core dating back hundreds of years, but the bulk of it was built during America's suburbanization. Metro was built after the Beltway, so you end up with this hybrid where it acts as a subway in the city and commuter rail beyond. In any event, I appreciate having a car here even though I walk to Metro every day. It does help with getting to events outside of Metro's reach as well as impromptu trips.

Congrats!
Though I can't believe you got it in yellow.
Of course, at least its not the lipstick red you wanted a few years ago....

Leave it to Brandon to buy a car the color of a LEMON! Enjoy, my dear. Can hardly wait to go for a ride in it.
