every time i walk up and unlock the car, get behind the seat and hear the engine start, i think "damn! i get to drive this thing!"
every time someone asks "what is that?" i get to tell them about the little porsche that could...... i make up errands for things that the wife wants that will fit in the car. managed to get 3 big ass storage shelf kits into the front seat and rear trunk! i find that i listen really closely to everything that goes on in the car and worry about every squeak and rattle. i feel like i have a 3rd kid! i see little troughs of rust around a bolt and immediately assume the entire car is about to detonate into a cloud of ferrous oxide! then i hit a large pot hole (northeast roads blow!) and the car is solid so i stop stressing. for now..... i think of setting up a car fund much like my kids college fund. is this wrong? the first spring with the car has been great. i am gonna drive the little money pit until winter and then up on jack stands and i get to turn wrenches all winter. at least my wife knows where i am when i am in the garage. sorry for the length of the post but felt compelled to speak. |

my teener addiction started at age 18 (40 now). was headed south on colorado blvd towards hampden (colorado folks will know the area by wilshire golf course) and took a turn lane at 75 mph. my dads teener stayed rock steady in a 4 wheel slide for 2 lanes and then i hit 5th and wrapped it to about 110mph watching the wine and brie crowd tee up.

it took me 22 years, but i was able to get one of my own. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) but now i know i can die so i don't drive like that anymore!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) |
