Ive been like the cars Ive driven.

This is just an observation of mine.People sometimes look like their cars.Or their cars are an expression of them at that stage in their life.Take me.Ive had a cavalier,a geo,my Daddy bopught for me,aka the Tupperware tank.drove my daddys pimp wagon,had a bout dead Mercury Mestique,then there was Shark Bait.My escort.Now I drive the Mom Mobile,aka the Mailbox basher.Its a misdize SuV.Not loaded,but loaded enough and the newest veh Ive ever owned and I love it.I drive the hell out of it,and believe it or not it gets decent gas milage.
The Cavalier was a cute car back in 99 when I got it.My grandmother finaced it at a high intest rate and we got totlaly screwed on it,but I loved that little car.It took me from my home town to just outside Baton Rouge,LA {a 6 hr drive} in just over 4 hours.It was my mad at the world car.I zoomed it all over the South.Id take off in it with out a thought.Then I quit my job when I got pregnant and Daddy took over the notes.So no more car for Sarah.
THen a while later,he and his wife took pity on my and bought me a 94 geo prism.It was a shoe box of a car,but i loved it too.I had more fender benders in that thing.It got hte name the Tupperware tank.I was driving a lot for my job so the gas was great.I then totalled it.I was going through a hard time in my life,like a divorce and it was just the icing on the cake.So Daddy agian loaned me the Cavalier.then he repoed it and let me drive his Pimp Wagon.
It was a piece let me tell you.But at the time my life was a piece too.The wipers hardly worked,one of the 2 windows didnt roll down.like an 83 modle cruella deville ride.no shit.thats during the time on my life when I had the closest thing to a nervus breakdown.
A Few months later I paid all of my tax refund for what I thought was a good deal.I got a t 99 mercury Mestigue.I had to press the gas and brakes at red lights so it wouldnt die on me.I was still going through that rough place in my life and I had the wheels to prove it.It was always dying on me.One good thing about that car was I had an accident in it none of my fault.So I got a check for close to a grand to fix it.Hell I didnt fix it.it would have been like putting a bandaide on an amputation.So I paid off some debts.The night it finally died for good I was in the hood in Memphis.I had a crazy ex who was stalking me and he had showed up at my pt jobdowntown.Thank goodness he did.The one and only time I was thankful for that,btw.So he had it towed and sold it to a buddy of his who owned a shop.
Then there was Shark Bait.A 99 ford escort.tan with a huge chunck of the back side gone.I loved that little car.When you went over 60 it hummed at you.Never died at red lights,and when you flew over hills with folks in the back seat it would make a crunching sound when you came down!That car took me to Baton Rouge{i have a friend who lives there}.took me to KY to Mama's and drove me faithfully the 1 hr one way to see Neil when we were dating.I went everywhere in that car.It got great gas mailage.It ran great,would zoom anywhere and insurance was cheap.It didnt bother me that there was a chunk missing.It was kinda like my life at the time.I was in a good place,felt good,but there was still something missing.Best 1800 bucks I've ever spent at one time.
Then there was Neil.He wanted me to have soemthing more safe to drive.He wanted something he knew he could send me off on my raod trip with and not worry.We thought we were going to be able to use both our refunds and a bit he had saved to just pay cash for like a Malibu.But no.We didnt get a huge amount back to buy what he thought was decent enough.So then we bought my SUV.Forgein name,American Made.So now I have a car note,for the first time in years.Sucks!But its not a bad note.The Child support I get from Jakes sperm donor is enought o cover it,if need be.Fortunatly we put such a big down payment on it,now we owe less than what its worth,so a year into it Im not upside down.Its a 04 and has run anywhere Ive needed it to.At first the gas milage tripped me out.I went From a little go cart car to a v6.talk about buyers remorse!But I love it.Its taken me all over tn,and KY like I need it to.I dont mind the note.I fianlly have a veh that is whole.It still makes a few noises,but that suits me just fine.
I dont care really what I drive.So long as I can hop and go!I just found it amusing that the diffrent stages Ive been through in my quest to grow up my cars at the time have matched that.I know other ppl that are the same way.
