Awe. Reminiscing about my first ever (and only) car makes me kind of emotional. It's sort of like ... the mascot of the best years of my life. A baby blue hunk of junk. 1980-something cavalier. Ugly as hell, but it took my best girl friends and I to many places, parties, concerts. It got us everywhere we needed to go. We had so many good times in that car. When field parties took place, we'd drive it right into the middle of the party, and my CAR would become the party. The VIP room if you will. Had one or two nights of restless sleep in it, ate lots of drunken McDonalds in it, had deep heart to hearts in it.

And then one day ... It just broke down, and the repairs were beyond what I could afford at that time. So I gave it to my best friend and she fixed it up and put it back on the road.

A few days after she had it on the road, I called her up from a party. Everyone was on ecstasy but me (go figure) and I was having the worst time ever. I was in the middle of nowhere, and everybody was rolling and talking my ear off and I just wanted to go home and go to bed. I called Danielle to come and pick me up, gave her the directions, and she was on her way in no time. (What a great friend <3). To make a long story short, she ended up totaling the car by driving it into a lake on her way to get me. (DON'T ASK!!!). =(
