End (beginning) of an era...
My name is Tom, and I just sold my 1988 Audi 90A Quattro for $600. I know this seems like an unimportant event, but please let me explain how this means more to you than you realize.
The sale of this car represents the movement of a generation. I bought the Audi because I was 20, it was red, and it was a fucking Audi. How classy was I? The first thing I did when we got back to Boise was buy a set of 18" rims and tires to make this car even classier...um, what? Honestly, that's where my head was.
A member of the Idaho Army National Guard, and going to school on Uncle Sam's dime, I did what the hell I wanted. Three friends and I lived near the airport in Boise, and regarded school as an inconvenience on the way to 'whatever the hell we wanted'. Let me tell you how that turned out....(deployment)
A BS in accountancy, a semester from an MBA from THE Boise State University, a fat ass mortgage, and a terrific partner in crime has left me with nothing else to ponder but my journey....
I encourage you all to follow along...for our generation and the future generation's sake...but really though, my future involves me riding dirty in 1997 Mazda 626.
Let's do this shit.

I drive a red car. That is both the make and the model. Can I also be a ninja? Occasionally the car's engine revs by itself... I suppose I'll need to do something about that if I'm going to be stealth.
ReplyDeleteWait. Your car revs by itself? So, it has a mind of it's own?
ReplyDeleteJen, your car is a cyborg. If you are in fact a ninja, and your car is a cyborg, you make a lethal combination.
Does it have cup holders?
Two cup holders. Both currently contain half-full Diet Mountain Dew cans.
ReplyDeleteHalf-full because I'm an optimist.
Mtn. Dew because i'm extreme.
Diet because I'm a girl.
Awesome because I'm a ninja.
I have helped you realize that you are a ninja.
ReplyDeleteI knew my calling in life was helping people, I just never knew it would come this naturally.
