1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

This was originally my friend Paul's car. Saddled with a "Notice of Order" for improperly working tail lights he dumped it off on my person. I never had the car inspected and re-certified as safe and sound for road use, but that was my own failure.

In high school I was advised not to have any friends. Coming into the possession of this car was one of those times it would have been wise. After internally reviewing my life, my spending habits and my overall lack of personal esteem, I decided that I was going to do what was so hard for me to do. I was going take the opportunity to become a responsible adult and begin pro-actively fixing my life.

At the heart of this was managing money. I was doing well, I was starting to feel good about myself. For the first time ever I was actually saving money and getting somewhere. That is until my friend needed to dispose of this car and looked to my person as his most viable means. Like an idiot I gave Paul my savings completely derailing my life endeavor to self-correct and never got a vehicle inspection.
