------------------------------------------------------------ woot! i have a car well, not quite in my possession yet...but one of my uncles in colorado has the hobby of buying cars for cheap prices, fixing them up, and selling them for twice as much as the price for which he bought them sooo, he got me a white Dodge Stratus and he's fixing it up and making it "pimped", as he said over the phone. i've got pics around here somewhere... but i havent seen any dodge stratuses when i'm out and about in town, so i'm not all sure what they look like... oh, and i get my driver's license on the 28th of this month. Drivers of the states: beware. T.T

Hahahaha, I had to say the same thing when I got my license here. I mean, driving on the other side of the road? Driving in snowy conditions? Yeah, the first time it snowed here was the first time I had driven in the snow and I was like, "um, I GUESS there's a car here... I GUESS there's a stop sign... I GUESS those lights are red..."
But yeah. I have a new car here and it's called Adgie, or the Pimpmobile. It's this old beat up Dodge Shadow (1993) and I redid the interior so it's all zebra patterned. Here are a couple of pictures I took of it (while I was driving... I'm not sure that is legal).
Yeah, check out that roof. We had to unclip the board with the existing fabric on it and remove it (and unscrewing things like the coat hooks and visor thingy), stick the zebra fabric onto it and then wait for it to dry before attaching.
Fabbo dashboard. Yeah, I did that too. ;D

lmao, that's badass. i'm not sure i want to do any interior decorating with mine; i remember when my sis got her first car...she had to complete overdo it by buying a whole theme for the damn thing, and then she filled the back and front windows with stuffed animals T.T thus, i dont think much, if anything, will be put in my car to decorate it. i might pin some pictures to the roof, and of course put band stickers on the back; every rocker has them!

I'm in love with my Jetta. I think my friend Annie named it, but the name escapes my mind.
I don't particularly invest much effort into the upkeep or decoration of my car, I just get cranky when it's dirty. I guess I'm pretty much practical. I keep a blanket, towel, a change of clothing and a first aid kit, flashlight etc. I've never used any of these things. But yeah it's pretty much clean and boring, the most interesting thing is the Kleenex box. (I once had a Humpty Dumpy oneā¦)
I would be scared to death of driving in the snow, I dislike driving in the rain. Good thing it doesn't snow here, although it would be useful to get some practice in, just in case.
I took pictures while driving once, although the car wasn't actually moving since there was an accident ahead of us...

Hahaha! This is an awesome questions! Let's see... I have kleenex (in one of those soft squishy packs), car manual, registration etc. papers, a flower made out of copper wire that one of my friends made on a whim and a roll of necco wafers. I hate necco wafers but my roommate said I had to try them because they had some sort of historical significance for candy or something, so we got a roll for 40c and I ate one, spat it out because it was vile and then the rest of the roll has been in my car ever since.

LOL. Interesting question.
I hardly dare to open mine .
Last time I did, I was attacked by a bunch of maps, an A-Z (maps directory) book, a packet of crisps (don't ask how old), an ancient umbrella and random sweets.

Necco wafers are nasty. You're friend is crazy. What is fun is to buy Bazooka Bubble gum and read the comics on the wrappers.
Since my Dad cleaned out my glove compartment I don't have anything but a car manual, insurance and registration papers and receipts. I don't even have a map. Tear. Although I don't plan on being lost anytime soon.
I discovered I'm one of those people who gets all jittery if people eat in the car. I'm fine with me because I'll take out me trash, but other people aren't as cool as me.
