I am serving in AmeriCorps VISTA in Cheyenne. Although the work has been        ，the payment is reasonable. The weather in Cheyenne has        to be adventurous. Although the fact that I walk everywhere has turned out to be great       ，for my body as well as my mind, I still began to      that I needed another form of transportation for the winter.
My boyfriend Mike knew of my        and he researched some local sites for       cars. Ho sent me      about a 1978 Ford Fairmont, I just knew this car was       to be. I began to communicate with the owner, a man named Dale Meyer. I found out that the car was      purchased by his grandfather and was in       condition. He and his two brothers had actually learned to drive    this car.
We settled     a price of $400，and       to have a test drive some day. The day before the test drive, I received a phone call from Dale. He seemed a little      ，but also excited. He asked simply, “You really would like this car, wouldn't you?" I responded enthusiastically and he said, “How about if I give it to you for a dollar?" ，I was completely    .
I      my favorite Fairmont last night. Dale walked me around the car,      its bumps and nicks. At times as he told me stories of the car it seemed he was      an old friend. As I was driving away, he stopped me to say, " Don't     to pass this kindness on. " It was truly a     end. Never look down upon the kindness of strangers.
