How did you feel the night before you got your car?

[Memphis Raines]

I'm referring to the day or night before you finally got your hands on your first brand new car at the dealership or second hand car or any "new" ride for you

How did you feel? Never slept the whole night? Nervous? Excited? (understatement hehe).

I'm sure that you still remember even just a little...

I felt excited kase I was just in first year college and I got this brand new Lancer GLXi na automatic pa! Black in color with no tint! Natakot din ako kase alam ko sa Taft mahirap mag park kaya I made sure when I got the car na and drove it to school, I left the house before 6am everyday! Haaay Memories! hehehehehe

My very first car was a '92 Honda Accord and was just a hand-me-down from my mom and yung first car na talaga ako bumili was a used '97 Mitsu Eclipse GS back in 1999 talagang di ako mapakali the night before. I was tossing and turning and I didnt get any sleep at all . The previous owner was a HS kid and the was not really driven around. It only had 14K miles. I was so excited signing the papers at the dealership and couldnt wait to get out of there to show my brother my car cuz he wanted one so bad. I drove it for 10 mos and traded it for a brand new 2000 Mitsu Eclipse GS.

My first car was an '89 Lancer back in Manila, it was a hand-me-down but it had a lot of accidents na that made it look...err...chop-chop. I mean, when my parents got home they used the bumper to feel the garage wall. That pushed the front bumper inwards, pango siya eventually. The car's trunk was pushed in and the car was sandwiched when a bus accidentally bumped it daw, so the trunk was badly painted. The rear windshield was broken due to falling debris when my mom parked it near a construction site. When I removed the rear seat, true enough I saw broken glass still hidden (this revelation was around 2001 na). Then there came the mismatched paint, and no power steering, and mismatched tires (two Good Years, one Sime Darby, one other I forgot). The rear springs eventually gave way and so it was bouncing heavily. It was a bare 1.3L EL model with barely 70hp (I just recently found this out hehe) and the AC wasn't the best (read: it would be surprising if it worked well and blew cold)...needless to say I wanted our other car, the '95 Corolla, to drive around. It was 1997 or 1998 back then. I sometimes used the Corolla during color coding days or when I needed the good AC

For my first car here in the US, the night before I was browsing Benzworld.org on stuff about how to maintain my '83 300D. Kept on browsing, looking at Car Domain pics, reference pages, etc. First impression, grabe ang bigat nito parang tanke talaga I mean it was a diesel, it was slow, the steering wheel was huge, and it felt old. Of course I've done a lot to it since so it doesn't feel as old as it did.

i was practically glued to the phone the whole day talking to my SA, making sure that everything is in order, so that i can get the car the following day. i was very excited the night before. couldn't really sleep as well as i kept on tossing and turning also... i was itching my way to go the dealership first thing in the morning... felt really ecstatic when i finally laid my hands on the steering wheel and drove it out of the dealership.

[Isuzoom]

Excited and sad...excited of the new car, sad of the new monthly amortization.

The first car i got was a brand new honda civic silver esi back in 1994 my 2nd year in college, the time we're driving it back home from the dealership was kinda' double careful even rain can't stop me worrying till the night the car was parked sarap matulog sa loob smells so good, check it piece by piece and the same time excited to drive it the next morning to school and everywhere.

[wren]

wala naman, kase i wasn't planning to buy a car...sinamahan ko lang bro-in-law ko sa pagbili ng minivan nya. may subaru dealer sa tabi ng honda dealer so i went to test drive one of their vehicles, fell in love with the car, and took it home that day.

[BlueBimmer]

could not sleep and got up very early the next day....excited?

well, it's either excitement or incontinence

[Sarsi]

wala lang.

I didn't expect that the car will be given to me on my first day on the job with my previous company. All i can say was "thank you". (sabi kasi nila, after 2 weeks pa daw)

[shute_boxe]

eto na inaantay ko na umaga kakaexcite di ako makatulog kaya post na lang ako dito

[ptk675]

like an expectant father

[Lucius]

Nothing, parang normal lang. Sa license ako hindi nakatulog, kasi after ko makuha yun, ako nagdrive pauwi from LTO.

Maybe this week I might get my first car under my name, so yeah maybe I won't be able to sleep

[HIFI]

I feel nothing, but driving home my new acquistion for the first time really makes me nervous.

I even forget to shift gears.

[hominid]

Test drive bago iuwi ako actually kinabahan. Sa kasama ko na lang pinadrive pauwi kasi 10+ yrs na un driver.

dreamt of NLEX and SLEX...

hindi ako makatulog at hindi rin makahintay sa umaga. para akong batang ang saya-saya dahil bibilhan ng laruan or magbabakasyon.

My very first car was the '98 M-Benz ML320! This has been decided when I saw Jurassic Park 2 at the movies (summer '97). I was one of the first who put money down ($500) at the dealer as a pre-order.

The day I got the call from the dealer that my order has arrived I was so excited, anxious and di makatulog!.. I have to read and re-read again all the product materials sent by Mercedes Benz, brochures from the dealer, as well as the reviews and magazines about the ML320.

Cheers!
