Maybe you should drive

Guess what...I finally, after 10 1/2 years got a new car. Ok, not new, but new to me. I bought it at Jim White Toyota on Central and it's a 2001 Chevy Tracker (not my first choice by any stretch of the imagination), it's got 41,000 miles and is in perfect condition. It's black and has leather seats. It still hasn't hit me yet and I'm sure it won't until I go to work in the morning and get in this instead of my Honda. It was bitter-sweet driving away from the dealership. To think I'll never drive my Civic again is a very sad thought indeed. I've had that car since I was 19 and I'll miss it. I wished I had brought my camera to take one last picture of her. Ok, now I'm depressed. But in a good way. No more buying oil once a week and no more filling up with water and antifreeze only to overheat 20 minutes later. And, get this, I now have a working air conditioner. No more sweating my ass off in my car. Plus, it's bigger than the Civic and has a luggage rack, so it'll be perfect for Bonnaroo! And don't think that wasn't a deciding factor, because it was, even if I didn't mention it to Brett, in the back of my mind while looking at cars I kept thinking "Will this be a good car to go to Bonnaroo in?". And it will. 6 cylinder engine and 4 wheel drive. I've never had that kind of power before. I can almost smell my first speeding ticket. PEACE!
