Over the past few weeks a passion for cars, especially imports, has been reignited through conversations with Shawn, a guy in the dorm who knows imports extremely well. After talking about cars we would like to have and fix up, I was the only one who came out with any decision. My picks: the Nissan S13 240SX hatchback and my current obsession, the Mazda FC and 
FD RX-7.Shawn and I have been poring over the import magazines in his possession for more information on these cars, but it's been nothing compared to what would be available if we had an internet connection and access to a computer. Man, I took the internet for granted when I was out. I needed it for my job and had unfettered access whether at home, work or school. I am so grateful for parents who research stuff for me; I received a good-sized packet of info on the RX-7 and its rotary engine.
Today I tapped Shawn to help me work out a budget for when I get out so that I can save for a car and school. If I am able to live with either my parents or grandparents, the amount for savings is encouragingly high. I plan as much as I can to hold back on spending but even the high estimate I came up with looks doable - almost easy until I start school again. Even tough it's all conceptual, it feels good to plan this stuff out. I can't wait to have a real job and some independence again.
