Beth hasn't had the car for very long, just a few weeks, but it does what it's supposed to. She'd made sure to find something safe, something she would feel comfortable putting Judith into, and she'd done a lot of homework and research to make sure she wasn't getting take advantage of.
It's been a long time since she's been behind the wheel of a car, but it turns out to be the sort of thing one doesn't forget all that easily and she passes the test on her first try, officially certifying her to be allowed to drive in Darrow.
While she's mostly content with walking and public transportation, she has to admit it makes certain things a lot simpler. Getting groceries is no longer a giant hassle, because she can just load her bags into the trunk and head home, where she gets Carl to help her bring them upstairs. Getting to and from gigs at bars that are further away from home is so much better. Ever since those guys had busted her guitar, she's been a little nervous walking home with it late at night, but with the car she just has to throw it in the backseat and everything is fine.
The next step, though, is the most important one. Teaching Chuck Hansen to drive.
When she pulls up and parks in front of the building where he's living now, she can't help but stare. She knows his friends had left him their condo, but she'd had no idea it was so fancy and she almost can't picture Chuck being comfortable in there. She sends him a quick text to let him know she's there, then leans back in her seat and turns up the radio and waits.
