My 1st table topic presentation in Toastmaster meeting

Table topic is the "fun" part where speakers improvise a 2-minute talk about a topic posted by the toastmaster. Today's topic is
"Your first/worst/best car/pet/job/date/kiss".

I thought about it for 1.5 minutes when another fellow was giving his speech on his first cat.

Here is what I came up with,
"I am going to talk about my first car. When I first come to this country 6 years ago. I was fresh-of-the-boat with $1000 in my checking account. Obviously I couldn't afford a car. So I saved up my meager RA salaries for the next 5 months until my saving reaches $2000. Meanwhile, I kept looking the classified ads for used cars. Eventually, I found a car that I can afford. Although it was beaten up 1989 Corolla, it was love-at-first-sight for me.
It met all my expectations: it has 4 doors, enough trunk space to put all my sports gears, and it runs smoothly. The mileage was relatively low for a 1989 car, because it only switches hands among college students that drive locally.

But I didn't rush to buy it, instead I took my housemate's advice to sleep over the idea. During that week, I started to compare every car I saw on the street with my target. Every comparison convinced me that the 89 Corolla was the best I can afford. So as always, I negotiated with the seller and wrote a check to get the key.

That day after dinner, I sat into my own car, parked behind my apartment, listening to the cassette player that comes with the car. I thought to myself: now I actually OWN a part of this country. A bigger than life satisfaction immerses me.
