37 days...

that's how long it had been since i last filled up my gas tank...incredible really....1 month and 1 week...350 miles on 10 gallons...considering the fact that at my old job i would have filled up around 15 times in that span...i am so happy to be normal in that area again...and i'm glad that the Yaris is getting her much due rest

i'm not big on giving life to inanimate objects...but cars are different...think about it...when you turn 16...they are the first things that you give yourself charge over...you have to take care of it...you have to wash it...you have to feed it...it takes you where ever you want to go....i've always felt this way about cars...from my first car...a 1980 datsun....to this one...every one of them was unique...every one of them had their faults...but they also had their days of greatness...and i ran every one of them into the ground....

and now...for the first time in my driving life...i've been the original owner of a car...37 miles on it when i bought it...a year and a half later...and i know her inside and out...her filth is my filth...50,000 miles and still staying strong....nothing has gone wrong with her yet...but the beautiful thing is...when it does...i'll know...cause i know how she is supposed to run...and supposed to sound...and supposed to feel...and when something's wrong....only i will be able to tell
