I didn't need a new car...

[Luis G]

...but I won one in a raffle


Not a big luxurious one, a Nissan Tsuru the less equipped one but worth some money nonetheless (US$10,000+).

wow, that's going to get some good mileage with that 5th gear.

 

[Luis G]

I doubt I'll ever pull that 5th gear, I'm planning on selling it. It isn't even factured (??) by the dealer so I might have a chance of just giving it back and get close to 100% its value.

Not that it is a bad car, but it is so popular that it is the most stolen car in the country. I don't even want to know how expensive the insurance will be.

Plus, we're planning on getting our own house and we can put to good use the money we get.

yeah, I didn't think about thet.
I need to start thinking in that way more though, as it's starting to get a little rougher
around here like that, and I not even in the city.
I've already had to get the 'copper' stuff out of sight.

That's pretty cool Luis. A truck is always good to have, all your friends can now call you when they move.
