my beloved Sylvia's zir ways of communication :D
For a while, whenever Sylvia (my car) needed oil or something was wrong, ze would put on the emergency brake light (and it would go off when I fixed whatever the issue was), and then a few months ago the emergency brake stuck always on. I figured it was just broken -- but I got my car back from the shop today and the light was off, and as I drove home I realized that ze had been riding rough for about as long as the light had been stuck on. I'm sure there is a 'rational explanation' but fuck that shit, my car is awesome and talks to me. And is now happy and healthy with a new distributor and oh-so-pretty new spark plug wires :D ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD I HAVE A HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR for the first time in I don't know how long. It's candy-apple red and even though I've been wanting to paint the car violet I may have to go with that shade because it SO suits Sylvia's personality, the spitfire. Oh I love my car!
