I don't think I'll ever be able to experience the sense of freedom I feel when I get a car as an adult and live in a rural area. It's almost like a feeling of invincibility. For nearly 20 years, I have been tied up with time, means, and money to do anything. The moment I got the car, all of that came off, and I remember crying as I drove along the national highway by the sea at night, thinking, 'Ah...it's so spacious.'
