That's actually covered in <a href=http://www.laurishaw.com/stage-two-prologue/ target="new">Stage Two</a>, a couple chapters ago: "Barry pointed out a cute little car and said he liked its color. I walked onto the lot, handed the guy some cash, and drove it away a few minutes later. Then I tricked it out with a two-thousand dollar sound system. I’m almost twenty-one, and this is my first car." People who live in the outer boroughs of Manhattan often don't have cars. Emily lives close to the city and doesn't need the car. Going on spending binges is yet another form of self-destruction for her. The more money she spends, the more she needs. The more she needs, the less likely it is that she will quit stripping. She's digging a hole. Hi Rachel

Need to know why she's driving now. Looking forward to seeing where this is going :) Teensy continuity note – earlier she went to work on the subway train (chapter 1 & then the chapter where she sings, possibly others).
