Tribute to little black car
She is sleek, elegant, sporty, loud, furious at times. But she is also gentle, comfortable and warm when needed to be.
This is the story of " Little Black Car" .... How we first met. It was a Saturday afternoon. My sister made an appointment with me to meet up with her. I didnt know what am i expecting actually it was my first time. I had to take an afternoon leave through the Mr. Indian ( I actually forgot his name). As usual to save his $ 2.50 / hour he reluctantly let me go. It was far and it took me an hour plus just to get to fort worth where the car dealer ship was.
We reach there around 3+ my sister told me it was the black car on the hanging garage thing.. On the first look she looks fine, later a big black guy came down asking which car we wanted to test drive. We pointed "her" she was raised down. We climb into her, took her for a spin she roar into life, I made up my mind then. She was I wanted. Sister has to come out with $500 for the deposit
when back X5 went down. Late for work but I was happy.
I still remember the day I got the car, we trade in red protege for $500. On the way back i stall the engine, and it wouldnt start back because of the rug stuck beneath the clutch.
I spent $99 for a detail car wash. It was good and its the first time i spend so much on cleaning the car.
Every week I wash the car at least twice a week, no matter how cold the weather was I still give her a nice bath despite the cold bite I get from my hands I still thinks that it is worth it. THe waxing i give it 3 hours minimum the shine i get out of it made me a proud owner. Hardly ever pump other gas station besides Shell. I give her the best Shell V-Power. Its getting more expensive i think its worth it compare to other gas. Would rather not drive it than putting in less good gas.
I remember people would laugh at her, her big ass wing made her rice-y. Yes I was young and green. I put down my head brace myself, putting up numbers better than those modify more than my car. learning as fast as I could at the end I was just a few seconds away from the STi-s .. they dare not to laugh at her anymore as she had earn thier respect already.
Now having to put up wit the life not having her around. The breeze i get driving her around. The confidence I get from getting her around. I think I will miss her a lot. I love you
