The Gift of a Car

About Me

Hi, my name is Marissa. When I was in high school, there were two things everyone knew about me. I knew nothing about cars, and I was obsessed with the show Gilmore Girls.

This knowledge is where the material for this site comes from. Matt and I have long since broken up, but I kept the car and it still runs like a charm!
