well i had to do it, i did not want to do it, but i had to. my car was on its last leg, and boy it made it a long long long time. we saw many miles together (234,000). yesterday i put her to pasture and came home with a new car. which currently i resent, for all its new fangled do-dads, and shiney prettyness, and for not being my old car. my car, where my bum had made a notch in the seat so i fit so well, and i knew its quirks inside and out (like reverse gear liked to come out of gear and the #5 on the radio buttons needed to be pushed real hard to work), and all those car memories...long road trips, catalitic converter incident a few years ago, all those hitch-hikers...
i am so thankful for that little car.
so the new one, who we dont know so well. 2011 honda civic ex 2 door manual. gun metal grey (sounds scarrier than my little green one already). came with 11 miles on it, brand spanking new off the truck. we tested the waters yesterday. it drives well, and the windshield is huge, and it has a lever to raise my seat, which is nice because now i can see over the dash. we dont like each other yet (because of the death of the old one) but i feel soon enough we will.
now...if only i can keep it clean for 30 days and swipe another goal off the list (day one down...twenty nine to go)
