Car!!:

I bought a car. It's a 1996 Suzuki Cino, 2 door (well 3, it's a hatch), kind of blue-purple. It doesn't have power steering (who knew such things were still made?) or airbags but it does have AC. The really important point here is that it's a manual transmission which I am still pretty bad at driving. Driving it home was mostly OK, by the time I got to Woden I could start it at after stopping without stalling. Except for the one light. I could have sworn that I downshifted, but apparently not. It's very hard to start a car in second gear... Sorry, people behind me.

Now I can think about going riding and deciding whether I want to learn to row. Both of those things require cars.
