My Car And Me.
location ~ home sweet home
thought ~ I drive car with bare foot, inherited from my dad, a better touch of control with my leg directly on the pedal.
My car is almost 7 years old now. I have the thought to get a new car ever since I started earning for myself. I have never owned a new car myself, sometimes, I visualize myself buying a new car, I’ll be too careful taking care of it, and I might tensed up until it got the first scratch, finally. Hah.
It’s getting old, a lot of wear and tear. The paint is faded, a lot of noise coming out from engine, from the side door. Every time I press down the power window, I’m worry that it might stuck and never go back up again.
Recently, I need to play some trick with the speedometer. It remains at its position pointing at ZERO eventhough I’m already over the speed limit; sometimes, it leaps from 0 to 100 in one second; at times, I hit the screen with my fist and it bounces.
My car is manual transmission. I always like manual transmission, I can have better control on it and better handling experience. The power kicks in once I step on the pedal. Although it causes my leg cramp whenever traffic jam, that’s also the reason I rather take a bigger route than stuck in bad traffic.
At times, I hotheadedly want to get a new car, let alone other expenses, get a car, anyway I just need a down payment and pay off the rest using installment. Hmm… But this never materialized, and not gonna happen in a year time.
I guess my car will still be here, until the day I finally come back for good in my sweet home.

But my 2nd toe nail dropped because of the inner injured, the aftereffect of hiking. Sigh..
