I bought a new car. I bought a used car. I replaced my old car with a newer, older model. A car with more room in the back. A car with less cup holders. A car with better air conditioning. A car with worse radio reception. A car with a cassette player. A car without a CD player. A car with all four tires attached to their respective rims, and two working catalytic converters still attached to the under body and not scattered in broken pieces on the ground and a rear passenger quarter panel that is not crumpled and broken and slightly imprinted with the logo of a Suzuki XL-7.
