    I'm sorry to hear that your first car was so disappointing. Most people have fond memories of their first car.

    How did you get to work before you got the car a month ago? Could you go back to what you used to do?.

    I used to work in one place as I was still in training, but now that I’ve got all qualifications I have to travel house to house which is why I even got the car. I’ve been off work for a month now but I really need to get back to work. As paying for the car monthly will get hard if I’m not making enough money
