:: Past Lives of My Car ::

I haven't gotten a picture of my car in pristine condition, and it looks like I'm going to have to wait a while longer before I can do that. No, my camera is fine... it's my car that isn't.
After I had all the little dents and dings fixed... after I had the roof and rear window replaced... after I got a brand new paint job... after I had the tint stripped to make way for a new coat... my car is messed up again. I'll post a picture soon, but right now I'm not in the mood.
I'm glad I haven't paid for a new layer of tint yet. I'm glad I haven't bought new rims and tires. I'm glad I haven't shopped for a new grille, plate glass, and other accessories. I'm glad I wasn't in the car when it hit a tree... but then again, I'm not.
I should have been driving that car this morning... heck, that car should have been parked in the garage. Unfortunately, 3AM found my car on the road... with somebody else at the wheel, not me. To make matters worse, my car found its way off the road and into the arms of a waiting tree. Don't ask me how it happened. I wasn't there to witness it. I was home.
It seems my car has a certain affinity to trees. They seem like each other... so much so that they have to get together. Maybe, in some previous incarnation, my car was a chainsaw or an axe. Maybe at some point in time, that heap of metal I call my car caused untold damages to some trees... and now, it's payback time.
