Something out of the "norm"

About a year and a half ago, I got my first car. It was an '87 Nissan Stanza. The car was in really bad shape so I had a lot of things to fix on it, including the color of it. So after about 6 months after getting my car, my bestfriend and I decided that it would be a good idea to spray paint my car. So we wnt to the store got sand paper ad spray paint. We spent hours sanding down the car. Then we started to spray paint it. After about an hour we ran out of spray paint. To make matters worse, the paint turned out to be really ugly. I ended up having to drive around with a half painted car.
I guess the reason why I did it is because I wanted to be able to do something that i cold be proud of. Ironically, it turned out to be something I was really embaressed about. I look back now and I laugh about it.
