My First Car!

I was not expecting to get my first car ever in Japan but I did! Living in a more rural area and wanting to have a slightly easier time getting around made the idea of having a car more of a necessity than it ever was living in Vancouver. Originally, my plan was to wait for a while and then get one after the weather changed. But, one of my ALT co-workers, wanted to buy a new car so I could get his at a good price. So, I said OK and got a 1994 SE Vintage Sprinter. It is the same as a Corolla and was kept in good condition. Most ALTs have something resembling a k-car but I have a sedan which should be great for road trips.
Now, I just have to deal with driving on some narrow roads and on the wrong/other side of the road!

P.S. I'm glad my car is not as small as this one!
