Weird feeling
Dear Diary,
It is so weird, everytime I walk outside to the parking lot and stare. There he is. Graphite, sitting there, proudly waiting for me, shining amoung other cars, and it's mine. Graphite is all mine. I cannot believe that I own a car now. I had never imagined it. Everything just fell perfectly into place. My car just came to me and sits there waiting for me to get all the paperwork done so I can proudly drive my own car.
My car can autocross, it can speed up fast, faster than any automatic. I never thought I would end up with a manual. hell, I can't even drive it properly! Yet it's there, it starts up when I want it to, it shuts down when I want it to, it's glistening in the sun, it's shiny metallic dark grey shines like it has never shined before in its life. I had never seen a car so shiny and so proud to sit there before. My beautiful car. I never knew that old cars can even shine like this. I was expecting a dull flaked out paint coat type of car. It's awesome.
My car is so beautiful. It's waiting for me to take care of it, it's waiting for me to get the paper work done and it's waiting for me to pass my license test so I can drive it, wax it, touch up the paint, wash it, take it to and from work, and for it to follow me everywhere I go. It's parked there, waiting patiently for me to learn how to drive it, learn everything there is to learn about it, feed it, do some simple maintence work on it, check out every part of the car, and for me to love it forever.
I'm not selling this car, ever... I wont ever junk it. It'll be with me for the rest of my life. His first owner grew attached to him but had to sell him. Graphite and I are going to live such a happy life together. I was planning on buying a junky car that runs for at least 6 monthes however, this car isnt junky, its beautiful and the original owner said that he'd be willing to take this car cross country if he had the chance, like right now..
Paul says that this car is gonna be runnning for at least another 2 years if not 5 years without any problems at all. But once I get a decent job, this car is going to be taken in and get everything adjusted and renewed. I'm doing more than the minium right now, however, as long as it's necessary to maintain my car the way it is, I'll be happy to pay for it. (um, assuming I get more temp work soon...) My beautiful car. Graphite! Graphite! My lovely Graphite!
Damn, I'm so into cars. I love doing my own maintence work on my car. It produces this bond between me and my car. I know I'm gonna feel weird taking my test in the ford focus but my corolla depends on me and its life depends on me. Whether the car ends up better than before or whether it gets neglected and its paint coating flakes to the bone. How long the car lives depends on me and what I do to it and how well it gets taken care of. It feels good having something to protect and take care of. It really brings tenderness to me. I just feel for this car so much...
Tcsh was my baby. He still is. My lovely IBM Aptiva K6 233mhz. I fixed him up to handle so much more than it was when it was brand new. I guess Graphite is getting ready for his new fate and destiny. Graphite and I are destined to be together. We found each other! We'll be together forever.
I'll never drive crazy on the streets. Never. It's not risking hurting my car for. This car tested horrible in accidents and it was rated like a 1 or a 2 for most impacts out of 10. However, it's going autocrossing with me! I'll get new tires so the traction is good and see how well the car can corner. I still wish it was a coupe instead of a sedan but he is what he is. I love him just the way he is. (damn, I sound like I'm talking about a boyfriend...)
