I went Shopping!

No, I didn't go and buy all the latest "fashion" designs, nor did I but any random gadgets that I don't actually need (which is a first). I went car shopping, well to be honest I didn't really buy anything so technically that doesn't really count as shopping. I guess it was more car window shopping? But doesn't that imply I went shopping for car windows...?

So yesterday I went car shopping with my parents, we had look at a few cars, there was a few that I liked, one for around £8000, its not cheap I know, but its pretty cool, but today I came back with a quote from the insurance people and apparently its going to be £2600!! I think since I did have an accident it'll certainly put a dent in things! On the plus side I did learn lots of stuff about buying cars etc, which I'd never had a clue about before, so I think I'm all clued up at the moment.

I'm trying to think of a realistic car that I can afford to get, but I have no idea what kind of car I want. I know a fair bit about cars, but I don't really want a small car, I would prefer a 4 door type, because its more convenient. The small cars always seem so cramped inside. I mean, I'm not exactly a big person, in fact I'm quite the opposite, but if I want to move my seat back a little the person behind me is going to get squashed, sacrificing his space for mine. Also the whole 3 door thing, if someone in the back has to get out of the car, someone in the front has to get out and pull the seat down, it just seems tedious to me. Maybe I'm being too picky, I mean it is going to be my first car (technically) I guess.

Here are a few that I've considered:


This one is perfect, it's brightly coloured, and it can also fly, perfect fot those traffic jams.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang



Or how about this one, it'll be good for the whole carbon whats-it-doodle. It runs on trash, if I remember correctly. Would also save me money on petrol, this one also flies too.
Delorean

What do you reckon?
