New Car

I was in the car for more than six hours today. It felt like it, well, maybe it didn’t. I was driving with a friend for the first three or so, then I was driving high on the feeling of having a new car. New to me, anyways. A 2002 land cruiser, thing is a BEAUT. It’s pure gorgeous, kinda silver, kinda champagne, not too much rust, big ol’ tires. The sound system’s funky, the buttons are awesome, the air conditioning’s busted, but at least I don’t have to keep the heat running all the time like my dads old rig had.
Really, I feel very, very, impossibly fortunate with regards to how this whole thing has come together. I’ve always wanted a cool car, and this car is cool. Not only is it cool, it was cheap, not only is it cheap, it runs good, not only does it run good, it’s got a track record for continuing to do just that, at least for a while longer. And really, it hasn’t got to do it for all that long to be worth the money.
Truly, I am looking forward to driving it into town tomorrow to see Jacob. Though, maybe not to parking it...
