rental cars are weird

so i normally drive a little silver saturn and i like it...i am used to it's height and blind spots and all that jazz...i don't have to adjust the mirrors or the radio stations or any of that...we co-exist quite well.

but now saturn is in the shop getting a new hood after a little tussle with an audi tank and i have a rental.

the rental is nice...it's new cavalier and it's fuck-me-red...but it's weird and there are no programmed radio stations and my garage door opener is in the ashtray and there's no place for my cell phone. also, i am finding it difficult to tell how long the car is and where the blindspots are and i am adjusting the mirrors every five seconds...

i miss my car... and i never thought i would.

ah well...

xo alice.

I just got rid of my car - and I couldn't be happier. I don't miss my 93 ford escort (two-door) at all. Nor do I miss the insurance payments (you're right - insurance is a scam) or the hassle of finding a place to park, or car accidents, or $2 gas, or...

On the other hand, biking in -10 weather sucks. Ahh, michigan.
