Please tell us, and all dNeero-ites, your best car story.
the first time we bought a car here in US, i don't know how to deal with americans, it's a good thing that i can negotiate with the dealers through email. I was able to get a good bargain for my honda civic. I'm also a first time driver, at first, i'm so slow that other drivers honked and yelled at me. The best part was when I tried to drive in the interstate, it's like i'm racing with other cars with the max speedof 65mph.
