For 3 years I have driven what I called, the silver bullet. A purchase I made as a sophomore in college, my 2005 Nissan Sentra replaced the "sexy white Stallone" who had gotten me through high school and into college. While the transition was a hard one, eventually I came to love the "silver bullet" which has been magnified by the crash I was in last weekend. I'm not even completely sure what happened ... possibly I fell asleep, perhaps I hit a pot hole who knows but what I do know is I walked away from an accident scratch free because my loving and protective car shielded me from potential pain.
I'm faced with a hard decision ... do I fix my car which sits currently in pain, or do I buy a "new to me" car and hope to love it like I have loved my prior 2 cars. This possibly seems like an easy decision, but let's compound this decision by adding the fact that I have 3 long intense years left to pay on the silver bullet. Out of hard expensive options, which is best? What route should I take? What road is the "correct" one? While I aimlessly seek to answer this question my brain is burdened, tired and even overwhelmed. I don't know what the right decision is. Do I listen to my mom and step dad? Do I take my own advice? Do I turn to my best friends? If I take one person's advice over another, will I face unending "I told you so's" later ?? Of course, I cannot know, but while I strive to figure it out I hope that I am making the most rational, the most valid, the most beneficial decision that I possibly can.
