And now that it's done, I was hoping to ask about two things in particular: firstly, going about purchasing my first car. I'm sure there's a number of people who know a lot about the process and I would very much appreciate any advice you have on the matter.

I'm curious about what sights I could see with my friends along the way. Like I said, it won't be for some time and I'd have to plan it out, but it would be nice to know what everyone's favourite routes have been!
