This is gonna be a long one
I’m 19 years old and a year ago I was not into cars at all. Ever since I started driving I have had the absolute worst luck with cars to the point that it completely ruined the fun of driving and owning a car. I purchased my first car (a 2006 GMC envoy XL) last July after looking at cars for months. It had a leather interior third row sunroof hitch (all things that are important to me) and it felt great when I test drove it. Anyways, to make a very very long story short I had it 2 days and the front differential took a crap and the dealership I bought it from took months to fix it. After driving around a bunch of different cars the dealership lent me I finally got it back and took a trip with my girlfriend to ocean city and ever since then have had a million problems but I’ve been able to solve most of them. I’ve put around 10,000 miles on it since I got it back in october and have done everything I am supposed to do I baby it and do all the regular maintainance and despite a few issues I am finally starting to enjoy it. Like I said I am by no means a “car guy” but I’m learning a lot as I go along and have been browsing trailvoy (which seems dead) and this forum for awhile looking at different modifications and such and I’d like to get into doing some myself, as well as just learning about cars in general. I’ve taken countless road trips up and down the east coast and have had some amazing times with it so far. Hoping to have many more.
