At this stage, budget is always breadline &#8211; a fruitful end to months of savings. To say a lifetime of skipping fun with friends for extra jobs to earn some coins doesn\u2019t give it enough credence.<\/p>\n<p>The resuscitating mechanic is usually a cousin working pro bono, or an indefatigable uncle who somehow believes in your dreams. By God\u2019s grace, the car will start running.<\/p>\n<p>You park it outside your bedroom window, and you spend half the night staring at it in the half-light. The first task in the morning is the day-long wash and scrub.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/isuzu2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/isuzu2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/isuzu2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/isuzu2-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/isuzu2-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/isuzu2-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/isuzu2-1536x832.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You possess used tires at a bargain from the neighborhood garage for a start. It\u2019s time to roll.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s heavenly, picking up a couple of friends for a drive, to the soccer game. The look on their faces are priceless, especially since some are a year or two older. The girls start to take notice of the silent kid.<\/p>\n<p>The interior may be ripped, stained and smelly.<\/p>\n<p>No matter that it uses a liter of transmission oil every 50 miles.<\/p>\n<p>The stereo kicked the bucket a few decades back, and the dials don\u2019t even turn.<\/p>\n<p>The rickety piece of junk constantly has a billowing cloud of black smoke following behind.<\/p>\n<p>The one prayer on your lips on the entire trip is that the rains do not start, for the wipers do not work.<\/p>\n<p>Your best friend hogs the shotgun seat, and keeps his sneakers firmly planted on the hole on the floor &#8211; lest water from the puddles on the road splash inside.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody will say a word.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody will even say a word about the non-functional reverse gear. That part of the transmission packed up ages ago. They are just impressed that you own a car, and driving it.<\/p>\n<p>You wouldn\u2019t care, anyways.<\/p>\n<p>That piece of junk meant no more queues at bus stops <em>(at the mercy of pick pockets). <\/em>No more begging parents for rides. No more places you couldn\u2019t go &#8211; Ok, let\u2019s say within a 20-mile (<em>walking<\/em>) radius from home.<\/p>\n<p>That car represented FREEDOM!<\/p>\n<p>If only people were so easy to impress today!<\/p>\n<p>That was in the mid 90\u2019s. It\u2019s neither here nor there, but everything has greatly turned out for the better. It\u2019s not just in car engineering, with better transmissions and inline or slanting cylinders &#8211; but, also in the economics of car ownership.<\/p>\n<p>Presently, it\u2019s as easy as ABC, to own a ride, brand new. It doesn\u2019t matter if the need is business-driven or family-oriented, one can drive home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/Iss.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/Iss.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1431\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/Iss.jpg 1431w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/Iss-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/Iss-1024x306.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/11\/Iss-768x230.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1431px) 100vw, 1431px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/msmecampaign.co-opbank.co.ke\/?utm_source=Ghafla&amp;utm_medium=bloggerbanner&amp;utm_campaign=isuzu\">Co-op Bank<\/a><\/strong> has the special Motor Vehicle Purchase Schemes established with major motor vehicle dealers, Isuzu East Africa Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>This is structured to enable Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) acquire vehicles they need with an incredible 95% funding, under the <a href=\"https:\/\/msmecampaign.co-opbank.co.ke\/?utm_source=Ghafla&amp;utm_medium=bloggerbanner&amp;utm_campaign=isuzu\"><strong>Biashara Iendelee na Isuzu<\/strong><\/a> financing deal.<\/p>\n<p>As a plus, business people have the liberty to apply an additional working capital of Ksh. 300,000.00, and a loan repayment holiday of 60 days.<\/p>\n<p>One can visit any <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/msmecampaign.co-opbank.co.ke\/?utm_source=Ghafla&amp;utm_medium=bloggerbanner&amp;utm_campaign=isuzu\">Co-op Bank<\/a><\/strong> branch across the country to get more info on this deal, or check <a href=\"https:\/\/msmecampaign.co-opbank.co.ke\/?utm_source=Ghafla&amp;utm_medium=bloggerbanner&amp;utm_campaign=isuzu\"><strong>Biashara Iendelee na Isuzu<\/strong><\/a> promotion online<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/msmecampaign.co-opbank.co.ke\/?utm_source=Ghafla&amp;utm_medium=bloggerbanner&amp;utm_campaign=isuzu\">here<\/a> from the comfort of your office or home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone has a teary story about their first car.
