She rode nice, especially down the strip in Virginia Beach.
Candy apple red with white leather interior, sunroof, ass kicking stereo system!
She was a boat, no question about it!
Gave her back to the guy I was buying her from the day she hydroplaned.
Smack, right into the rear quarter panel of a Sunfire!
Definitely too big for an 18 year old that just got her license!
1980 Buick Regal, number two.
Just got it, waxed and detailed it up nice for a road trip to New York.
Tinted the windows over the weekend.
Had it for 6 days, and on the way back...
Blow out - totalled it on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, right between the two tunnels!
Not me driving this time.
1979 Olds, Cutlass Supreme Limited Edition.
Big enough for baby seat in the back.
White with a black top and a sunroof.
Had this one a year before 'he' thought the head gasket blew.
I just made the last $1500 payment, sold it for $350.
Then I found out it was only the radiator!
1993 Dodge Shadow.
First brand new car, not the greatest but it got me there.
1997 Plymouth Neon, it was red with a moonroof.
Didn't have for long, needed a minivan!
When some of the kids got older I got a Chevy Blazer.
Hated the Blazer!
Four wheel drive and I went off the road both winters I drove it!
What the hell?!
2008 Second new car. Gas prices were killing me driving from Hermon to Orono!
So, coerced into getting a Toyota Corolla. Ugh! What an ugly car!
Yes, it's very fuel efficient.
So, looking back, the 'ol girl may have been a boat.
A sharp looking, 425 V8, ass kicking sound and speed...was the first.
When she kissed the sunfire, she was tough,
not a scratch on her...you should have seen the Sunfire!
Looking back today, knowing what I know about wheels,
maybe she was the best, she sure was the most rugged and most fun!
(*note: I purposely refer to the 'ol girl as 'she' and the others as 'it', no pun intended.)
Hate your layout, love your content. So many things in life pull you, then push you, eh?
ReplyDeleteYou could make me the Happiest English Teacher in the Whole USA if you would repeat the mantra: 'John loves paragraphs, John loves paragraphs....' There! That wasn't so hard, was it?
All that said, I really like this--consider submitting it to the school literary magazine, the Eyrie. It's funny, sharp, personal, detailed, visual, clever (because we get a mini-autobiography via vehicles), just a keeper all around barring those pesky unparagraphs. (But if you decide to submit it to the Eyrie, the editors might like the unparagraph look, I can't say.)
