Our Little Car

We decided to go crazy and get a funky car. I know some of you are eager to see pictures, so here she is! It's a 2000 Nissan Cube. It has 50,000 Km, which is about 30,000 miles, I think. (welcome to the metric system) Not too bad for 8 years old, then again, how many miles can you really put on a car thats trapped on an island? It actually is in pretty good condition. It is common here for people to get older used cars because you are only here for a few years, so why spend a lot on a car? It takes 8 gallons to fill the tank, lol. And we have already learned that it does not beep when you leave the lights on, nor do the lights go off automatically...Mike killed the battery the second day we had it. Nice.

We drive on the other side of the road here, its a little weird and takes time getting used to it. That also means the drivers side is on the other side of the car. And the passenger sits where the driver normally sits, weird. So when we first start driving, instead of turning on the blinker you turn the wipers on, lol. Craig says that is how you know someone is new, if they are sitting at the corner and their wipers go on with no rain...Yep, we've done it. And I've only caught myself driving on the wrong side of the road once! :)

Side view, thats my shadow...

Front, hehe

Back, its a little bit of a hatch back. Thats our housing in the background. I'll save those pictures for another day...

What do you think?
