oh how i've missed three petals under my feet and a shift knob next to my right thigh. getting upwards of 30miles to the gallon. easily and swiftly maneuvering through cars to get to my destination three lanes over... and don't forget automatic windows and locks.oh you tiny 1.5 liter engine. so light and fast. i'm so glad to finally have you back.
a few weeks ago, the Civic's computer took a shit. and the guy's a Craig's Automotive and my dad had the hardest time finding another computer that would match. the couldn't find a new one[because they aren't made anymore] and a rebuilt one would cost an easy $700 before installation. So in the meantime, i had the joy of driving Kelso [Becca's soon-to-be car] a green 1975 ford station wagon. Not the hottest car on the block but it could get me to school and to work without a problem. Plus it does have a sweet body style and it's nostalgic for me. i once had a 1984[83?] ford station wagon.
may it rest in peace.
But i finally got my car back yesterday. yaay! no more searching for parking spots at the mall that are big enough to park an R.V., no more dropping a gallon of gas every time i accelerate, and no more people cutting me off cuz of the looks of the car they don't expect it to be coming up behind them that fast.
Good bye Kelso, it was fun while it lasted [remember the "lovefest" hippie party with Katherine Allen] but my baby's home now. So off you go back to grandma's house to wait in the driveway for Becca to get her license.

I'm glad you have your car back. I have to say that as much as I loved having the power of a my wagon. I love the get up and go of my little bitty Focus.
And I'm SOOOOO driving Kelso when I get there in a few weeks.
it's actually really fun to drive.. just not as much as the civic.
