Some Days...

There are very few moments when I think "wow, I really wish I didn't have a car." Over the years, those moments have included:

1. When my 1972 VW Beetle (named Fez) decided to implode his engine about 90 miles from home, stranding me at a gas station with the scariest AAA tow truck guy EVER.

2. When I was sitting at my desk at work and all of a sudden my boss comes over and says, "Umm, Em? Your car rolled backwards out of the driveway and is sitting in the middle of the road blocking traffic." (this was with the Ford Escort Hatchback named Trixie Anne)

3. When my current car looks like this:










Yeaaahhhh...not having a car is sounding pretty good right about now!

  3. Thanks Kristi! I was admiring you guys' mad snow digging skills in the facebook photos...and being completely jealous. And yeah, the escort's e-brake AND linkage went out at the SAME time, sending the car into the road...I have the worst luck with cars!

  4. So, what's your present car's name?
    And at least when your car rolled backwards without you inside it didn't crash into your neighbor's kitchen, huh?

  5. True, Mom, at least it didn't do any damage! And the current car has been named "Moby Dick" by Molly...as it's the great white whale...can't wait to replace it!
