~~~The Katmobile~~~
....my very first car
~~~The Katmobile~~~



You all can imagine my sheer excitement when I FINALLY got the phone call saying that I was approved for the car. I must admit, it was a big hassle. There were a few problems I had to deal with, like the downpayment and my credit being relatively new. The headache was worth it in the long run though and now I can say that I'm ecstatically happy with how everything is going. The day I brought this baby home was May.2/2002. From day one, my friend Vi dubbed the car, "The Katmobile" and that name has stuck with it ever since. She even got me a licence plate which the car proudly displays on the front bumper.

Below, you'll find information about "The Katmobile".
