I had a hair appointment this morning as I do ever year on my birthday (in hopes of making myself feel younger & more fabulous) and my husband asked me to drive the Audi since he was going to use my car to take care of some household chores. As I got into it I realized I probably haven’t driven this car in about a year. It spends a lot of time just sitting in the garage. I got this car for my 26th birthday and 10 years later it still hasn’t passed 100,000 miles. You might find it weird that I am posting about a car but I just got so nostalgic getting in it this morning. It goes so fast, hugs corners nicely, and overall just ignites my little wild streak. I turn on the CD player (yes its too old for a IPOD connection) and the CD playing is Black Crows and I crank it up and open the sunroof. I feel like I am in my 20’s again. I didn’t really realize the emotional attachment I have for this car until just now. It really represents a time in my life where I was really discovering myself, being a little wild, being extremely independent and carefree. Don’t get me wrong I love my SUV hybrid Mommy mobile that I have and it suits me very well now but driving this car today made me realize I may never get rid of this car. Not because I want to be 20 again but I think every once in while it’s nice to have a reminder of how that feels. Plus it’s so dang fast and who doesn’t love a car with turbo in it?
