I'm more comfortable in the family commodore (3.8ltr), compared to my dad's mazda (2.0ltr).
And remember to always use the hand brake when stopping.

A Sonata ain't big. Smaller cars usually have more acceleration, and turn shaper than you think they will. Although a holden is a bastard to park if you don't get it right first time.
I almost wound up with a nissan prarie - one of those mini van things that seat 7 people (This is bad because it would mean me alway being designated driver at parties, which would also use up all my petrol). I stood to receive it from some friends of my parents, but it ended up getting sold first.
This is after I was offered a valiant for $800 by a guy at my mum's work, but it ended up having too much rust in it. Although I could have fixed it, if not by myself, then with the assistance of a certain trusty amateur mechanic (Cameron), I was told, "ya not turning my driveway into a bloody workshop!" by the owner of said driveway. Since he's probably going to play a somewhat important role in me ever getting a car at all, I thought it was a good idea to listen to him.
But you wouldn't catch me in a toyota echo, they're a bit too much of a teeny bopper car.
Oh, yeah. Sorry.

I love my echo - it's my new toy! It's such a funky car - there's so many compartments, and i love the speedo thing it doesnt have a normal gauge thing it acutally has the number and goes up and down etc.!!!

Woohoo. First time and you got your licence. Good on you. But *sigh* I hope you don't end up spending all your time with your car and forget about your friends.
