I tried to add musical notes to that opening line…but once again the limitations of this program defeat me.\u00a0 Which is the reason I don’t have a constant pix on the blog page…as I would like.\u00a0 Nor a way to add ‘tags’ successfully…although I just assumed it was my ignorance…but I’m pretty good at figuring out shit\u00a0<\/span>things.\u00a0 Ever since the undo and back button were invented I’m quite bold with computer programs.<\/p>\n

See my baby!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ya gotta scroll a little down.\u00a0 I’m told I need to name, her.\u00a0 I secretly call her The Slut.\u00a0 Because she’s sexy and I feel sexy driving her.\u00a0 After all…sex is good for you, it relieves stress.\u00a0 So we shouldn’t call them sluts or whores we should call them Health Nuts!<\/p>\n

I…am…a…health nut!<\/p>\n

I love driving The Slut more than when I owned a Mustang convertible.\u00a0\u00a0 Because contrary to popular belief a convertible isn’t as much fun as it seems.\u00a0 TOTALLY messes with your hair and people will slash the canvas top to steal the radio…even if it’s out of the car!\u00a0\u00a0 Canvas. \u00a0tops.\u00a0 \u00a0are.\u00a0 \u00a0expensive.<\/p>\n

The first car I ever owned was an Escort and it was small and cute and white.\u00a0 I enjoyed zipping around in it.\u00a0 Then I bought the convertible, again white and it was enjoyable until I blew out the engine, had it rebuilt and the thing was a Pig after that.\u00a0 Just a bitch to drive.<\/p>\n

My next car I adored.\u00a0 It was a 94 Prelude, red and she was just the sexiest most fun car ever!\u00a0 Her dashboard looked like something out of a space ship…it went all the way across with instrumentation…straight into the passenger side.\u00a0 I owned her for 6 months before she was stolen.\u00a0 Sob.<\/p>\n

When I trashed the van I’d been driving I wanted to buy a 94 Prelude, recreate my lost dream and I even found some in cherry condition in my price range.\u00a0 But no, everyone was aghast I would buy something so old with so many miles on it.\u00a0 I mourned the massive disappointment of finding what I wanted and being denied.\u00a0 But I got over it by swearing that when I get the money from the sale of my first book…half of it was going to be spent on WHATEVER I wanted.\u00a0 No matter how frivolous.<\/p>\n

My next car was purchased after I got married.\u00a0 A white truck.\u00a0 Hell, I was in Texas and trying to be a good wife to my new husband…he loved trucks.\u00a0 I drove that until the birth of the second child when we realized there was no place to put this baby in my truck.\u00a0 And a used Accord, midnight blue was my little Mom vehicle for about\u00a06 years.<\/p>\n

Then my Town & County.\u00a0 I really like my van.\u00a0 ALL the seats folded down into spaces so at a moments notice I could seat 7 or haul 5 full sized mattresses.\u00a0 I envisioned passing it on the boys when they were teens!\u00a0 Instead I smashed into a guy and the insurance company declared it totalled.\u00a0 I miss my bumper sticker the most.<\/p>\n

\"p6270009\"I think I fell in love with the color of The Slut first.\u00a0\u00a0 I love a red car.\u00a0 What does it say about me.\u00a0 It says…Hi, sexy female, here.\u00a0 When a guy wants to say Hi he’s sexy…he’ll buy a black car.\u00a0 Red is for the women.<\/p>\n

But The Slut is just plain fun to drive.\u00a0\u00a0 She zips around.\u00a0 She can fit in ANY parking spot.\u00a0 When I sit in her my feet touch the floor easily not just because her seat adjusts up and down not just back and forth.\u00a0 She’s wonderful on my posture and her CD changer lets me feed 6 CDs in.<\/p>\n

Oh, and let’s face it together we are sooo hot on the road.\u00a0\u00a0 Now if I can just remember NOT to speed too much!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
