(i really hate not checking every day, it seems like your lives all flash before my eyes.
i feverishly dislike playing catch up mostly, i'm totally in to being IN ... the know that is :]
ugh, need to buckle down and take five minutes out of the day to LJ. i know that sounds strange, but believe me - it's calming to see that the world is revolving for everyone and that things are unfolding. it's a nice break from my own little universe)
on that note
about my universe i mean
OH MY EFFING GAWD
i admit - i cultivated my passion for cars from ex boyfriends, it was not a passion born of my own mind but rather something i struggled to learn that we might have something in common. i read until my eyes were sore and i can't tell you how many JDM affiliates were bookmarked on my computer
it didn't come naturally, but eventually i found a certain love and appreciation for things that go VROOM
the mechanical aspect is still a mental struggle for me, i would never be able to tell you how an engine works, the diagnostics on a particular make, or even how to properly adjust tire pressure
what interests me is the external beauty. how certain cars look and how they could look like so much poetry
one in particular has always embodied (to me) a gorgeous car, with flat streamline angles and a shark nose the early model mazda rx7s make me swoon
and now, after lusting for so long
i finally have one to call my own
michael paid cash for an 83 n/a (non turbo) that he'd found on craigslist to celebrate my nearly finalized divorce. it was an incredible gift and i'm still reeling with the fact that i am so overly blessed.
at least three times a day i find myself wandering out to the garage to just stare, or at least to fire it up ... and gas money permitting i take it for a jog through town. i get a natural high from just owning it, i'm the only person in town with a running first gen and the attention has the consistency of cocaine
i'm in love
in love with my precious new car. in love with the man who thought so much of me to give me my dream, even when i can't always provide him with his. in love with the fact that as a couple we're doing well enough to buy a car with cash ...
just in love with life right now :]
