I went car shopping today. Or shall I say window shopping…only because I knew I wasn’t going to purchase anything. I AM NOT MY CAR. I drive a piece of crap ..true indeed but I have a feeling I will drive that piece of crap forever. Not because I have to but because it was my mom’s car and it has sentimental value. That 1990 has gotten me from Maryland to Detroit to Maryland back to Detroit down to Atlanta up to New York down to DC back up to New York down to Maryland and then down to Atlanta in a two year span and she is still pumping along. My baby has dents in the side, in the hood, paint is chipped and all I can say is the car is a reflection of my life and what I’ve been through..lol. The other day I was on the phone and cut a corner to close and ended up scrapping a pole. I got out of the car to see how much damage I had done. I had white paint all down the right side of the car. I shrugged my shoulders, jumped back in the car and kept it moving. Now if that was a brand new range I would have had a heart attack right there.
I’m the type of person that doesn’t let material things define me. I never felt the need to have on the latest fashions, hell i could never tell you if the shoes i’m wearing was this season or last nor the purse and I damn sure have never thought about upgrading the ride…. well until now.
I mean thank god for triple A or I’d be praying to God every day I left the house that my lil hooptie didn’t break down on me. And it sure doesn’t help my ego when they pull my hoop ride up out of valet at a red carpet event when there is a crowd of movers and shakers standing outside.
So in celebration of recent partnerships and big business moves, I may just take an upgrade….
I mean if I don’t get a Range…even a Hyundai would be an upgrade right about now *chuckles*
Good night
Hi, I'm Necole!
I wanted to say that i love this site, it is so unique and down to earth. Its honest and human, i love it and keep it going.
Claude have mercy!! lol You’re absolutely right about the car being a refelction of your life. And just like your car, you’re still runnin’ :o) I swear if you get “Oprah big”, that car better be sittin’ on a pedestal on display in your garage with an sign in front of it that says, “Look Mom! I made it!” 😀
LOL….Too funny, I had a Cherokee jeep 1997, that I rode until the wheels fell off in August 08. I loooooved that ragedy car. When I tell you I recked it at least 4 times (hitting my baby daddy car or trying to run that mojofofo off the road) and got it repaired. Can we give a shout out to NO CAR NOTA! She blew a head gasket on me on the highway on my way to work (so much for loyalty). I had to upgrade but with this recession going on I could only afford a 2001 Eddie Bauer SUV (3 seater, you know for the chilrens) and I love it and guess what Necole? You guessed! Im going to ride that mojofofo until the wheels fall off or the gasket blows. Anywho, Ive already planned a date to run into my baby daddy car SOON just to break that CHIT in…..Toodles
that’s hilarious! i just watched my pookie die before my eyes and then my HEARTLESS parents donated her without so much telling me. but yeah, that range is tooooooo sweet!
Story of my life!! Necole where are you from? Detroit? Atlanta? Anyway, best wishes girl. That car will be yours one day!
