My new car!!

About a month ago I was driving a ’97 Dodge Neon that was a salvaged title. I have had this car since my Junior year in High School, and just recently the fuel injectors started to go out. Instead of replacing them and trying to fix my car, I used The Secret to bring some money into my life to buy a new car (and pay a few bills). I made a list of things I would like the car to have (e.g. good gas mileage, good condition…etc) and I would visualize myself driving this new car and every time I got into my old car, I felt feelings of gratitude that something better was on the way.
About two weeks ago, my tax return was deposited into my checking account ($1,500). Also, my stepmother works for a car dealership, and about a week after I sent out my intent for a new car/money, my neighbors went to trade in their ’97 Ford Taurus at my stepmothers work (of all places)! THEN, my stepmother somehow gets word of this and is able to snag the car, have it checked out, and is able to get it to me for $900. Retail value of resale for the dealership would have been $2300. I now drive in a car that has high miles but good gas mileage and runs and smells like a new car! THANK YOU RHONDA AND TEACHERS!!
