My car is vain

I swear I do NOT know where she gets this from as I am not a vain person.

My car seems to go out of its way to drive past reflective storefront glass and gaze at itself. Lil' gal also likes to *pose* and will park and then turn her wheels as if to say, look at me!

In my daily travels, there are 3 routes to take. She goes where there are several places to check herself out. Man, what is this about?

Whenever she pulls up next to a Cobalt, I could swear I hear her say," I might be like you underneath but outside I blow you away"

Next to a PT Cruiser? Well I wont repeat that as I don't want to use profanity.


She does not know the meaning of the word humble!

Brad,

I am the one that buys things that just arent quite right and although certainly not intentional, there is something a little squirrely. I do like this car alot. I have spent alot and will continue to add things to it. I was on the freeway twice this last weekend and got 29 MPG so I know it's not broke. It's my short trips that are killing my mileage. Acceptance of what I cannot change. I hope that as she gets more miles on her ( 3002 total as of this morning and is 6 months old! ) she will not drink so much.

It's nice to hear you sounding postive and upbeat! Also glad to hear you're seeing some 29 MPG. That's got to make you feel a bit better! Fear not. As it breaks in with more miles, those MPGs will increase. Mine have!

Mine has yet to find the windows. If you drive down main st. in Santa Ana there is a big building almost a block long full of windows maybe this weekend i can take it by there. Shiny Red beauty that it is.
