Just Me and The Open Road
Well I have to say I am loving spring right about now. This weekend it finally started to warm up enough for me to take my “Real” car out for a little spin. I decided it was a smart idea to fill it up the Civic with some fresh gas, and take some time to wash the dust off it. I have to say I really miss being able to drive that car on a day to day basis. It’s fun knowing that you have this super great car sitting in the garage but at the same time it’s sad to know that you can’t experience the joys of driving it whenever you want.
It pains me to know that this summer I probably won’t be putting insurance on it, and although I plan to trailer it to some track events it definitely won’t be the same. Getting behind the wheel of my Civic takes me back to a simpler time, when all I had to do was get in my car and forget everything that was going on in my life. There is nothing more fun and relieving then getting into a car like my Civic going out for a drive, and experiencing 240whp of All motor Honda fun.
I always joke about getting rid of my civic and moving on to bigger and better things but I really don’t ever think I’ll be able to part with it, the amount of hours I spent underneath and around that car, I have really developed a connection with it that I don’t think I’ll ever have with any other car out there. It was my first, it was the car that taught me everything I know today about cars, including the good and the bad. The memories, and friends I have made with it will be with me forever, and when I look back on my teenage years it is definitely one of the things that puts a smile on my face every single time.
Hopefully after this summer I’ll be able to devote more time and energy to my car, and hopefully I’ll be able to bring it back to a state where I can feel comfortable driving it everyday. Until that time I’ll be missing her day after day, until the time I get to drive her again, and experience the joy of being behind the wheel of an absolute beast.
