Personal Narrative-It's Time To Get My First Car
To any American teen, getting their first car is their first big step to freedom. Being able to escape the confinement of your neighborhood without having to ask for a ride everywhere is the greatest feeling on earth. Nothing can touch you when you're driving to your destination with your windows rolled down and the stereo playing your favorite song on your own set of wheels that you paid for with the money you earned the previous summer.

My parents forced me to try driving a little four cylinder again, and as usual, I wasn't impressed, and when I got out of the vehicle to start heading home, I saw it pull up.
It was a 2001 Nissan Maxima and it pulled up with a black coat that was glistening in the sunlight and reflecting everything around it in it's pitch black
