Well, I\u2019d have to admit I was tired of college, the whole idea of tests was just getting old.  I was more tired of not having money and not being able to get what I wanted.  I\u2019m glad I stayed in school to get my degree, but I\u2019m glad I\u2019m out.<br \/>\nThere are a few goals we should all have, graduate high school, go to college, etc. but also a goal many males have: getting a new car.  Well I\u2019ve finally met that goal.  I got a 2002 Grand Am GT yesterday.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photofill.com\/znews\/266-0062-grandam.jpg\"> <\/div>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t beat the deal, the guy I got it from bought the car brand new and kept it in pristine condition.  He was a fellow like me, washed it all the time, kept really good care of it.  This was perfect for me, something I would want for my own car, except I didn\u2019t have to pay the new car retail price.  I bought it from him private party, so didn\u2019t have to deal with dealer crap.  The other plus side is the car still has a GM warranty on it, this guy even got an extended warranty, so it still has a year left of warranty.  He also gave me the original window sticker and many other documents he had on it, very cool.<br \/>\nI\u2019m sure if you\u2019ve known me at all, you wonder why the hell I got a Grand Am?  Well yes I&#8217;ve wanted a Grand Prix since 1997 when the new body style came out, but my girlfriend also has a Grand Am (which is rather funny, both of us with basically the same car) so I knew I liked these cars, and fit in them decently.  But what sold me on the deal even more was if I got a Grand Prix, I would have to get a loan, this car however, I paid cash.  Yep, I got my first car, and bought it cash, I couldn\u2019t beat that.<br \/>\nNeedless to say, I\u2019m rather excited to have my first car, as far as the 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88 I used to drive, and have for my whole driving career, we\u2019ll most likely be selling it soon.  It has 267,000 miles on it, and still runs great.  Any buyers?<br \/>\nAs I like to say:<br \/>\nGraduate College:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Check<br \/>\nGet a Job:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Check<br \/>\nBuy a Car:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Check<br \/>\nBuy a House:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pending<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s one thing I heard when I was in college a lot: \u201cStay in school, the real world sucks\u201d.
