"Yes! It&amp;#039;s true!! As of Friday night, I became the owner of a new (used, but new to me) car! It came certified pre-owned via a reputable local dealership, and the mileage was really, really low for a used car. I do have a bit of a car payment, but this car has double the gas mileage of my old minivan, so even with the new payment added into the budget, it still works out to be far less than I&amp;#039;ve been previously spending in gas. I&amp;#039;m actually on the plus side of the equation! Whoo hoo! And let me tell you, when they put the keys in my hand, and I drove that baby home, I was grinning from ear to ear. This is my first ever, belongs-to-just-me car!! My car! in my name only! I swear, I haven&amp;#039;t felt this wonderfully independent and empowered in I don&amp;#039;t know how long. I drove and drove and just kept driving, with the windows down and wind in my hair and all was right with the world. As I drove up to my house that evening, a couple of neighbors were outside cheering as I pulled into the driveway. It made me want to dance! Seriously, folks - it was just an outstanding moment. I never thought a car would be the source of so much joy and self-confidence! Yes! I can do this! I can be Ellie with her own car and her own house and her own life. And it&amp;#039;s all good. Really, really good. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
