Today I was having a productive day, zipping around the city taking care of errands. But in the back of my mind I kept having this unnerving feeling my car felt funny and would break down.
As I slid in the parking lot and needed to switch into reverse -- it happened. My car would not change gears. Even though my VW Beetle is 2 years old and quite the smooth operator -- the accident where this non-law abiding freakazoid took a light and hit me right on the driver's side where her vehicle was a total loss and I, thank you German Engineering, was simply pinned in the car, needing to escape via an open window and leaving my shoes inside, raining night, horror movie episode. LIttle Beyssita wailing and crying at the top of her lungs with anger because the airbags made her lips 10's their size and she was due to fly out the next day to LA for her holiday that didn't happen. My car has never been the same. Since it was not a 75% percent loss they decreed to fix stuff against my wishes.
The good thing is that when my car broke down it was a familiar spot, and two men that come to the Aveda salon helped me. They looked at the car and pushed it into a parking spot. I called and bitched at the insurance people. I called my attorney and bitched. I got a rental car by the end of the night. I will get a new car. A little Mini methinks. I want this other car but it will not be out till 3 years. It's a white car American brand forgot which one. The inside is ala Stanley Kubrick, White peforated leather and Orange gadgets. The nobs are all modular in nature. Test Tube synthesis and plastic gloves are the aesthetic. The accents are chrome on the outside and I would definately name my car Dexter. My current Sasha (a boy car) would be jealous.How do you set up a poll Traci????
So. Miss Little Eiffel that's why I was late. When got to the Biltmore I ran and the horror story telling time had ended. So 2nd time I drove myself to Lion Video and rented the Big Lebowski (one of my all time favorite films "Noone fucks with jesus) and Reflectiones de la luna. Reflections of the moon; a beautiful Spaniard artsy fartsy film about nuns and lovely mad cinematography. I picked up some greasy food. And put a pumpkin masque on my face.
Oh what a night. ...
