There are times when I truly am a pessimist. Bleh. I wonder when the other shoe will drop, wonder what's next around the bend...rather than letting myself enjoy sometime. If this is what it means to be adult, I'll pass! haha!
It still has NOT sunk in that this car is mine. That this wonderfully crafted automobile is truly mine. I find myself at times walking out of my office, past the parking lot to see if I can get a glimpse of it to make sure it's still there. haha! There is no shortage of people who want to get a closer look at it either. I'm chalking it up to there not being a whole Pontiac G8's roaming the highways and roads of SoCal. Today we went for lunch off-property. We sat on the patio, which happened to have a clear shot of where the car was parked. This older fellow walks up to it, does a double-take then peers at the back intently. He then walks over to the side and peeks in the window, nodding in approval. All the while, I'm ready to bound over the railing if he got too close and I had to defend my car's honor...hahaha!
The same thing happened to Kiki as she sat in it as I went to the bank. Apperantly people just walked right up to it, and started looking around it, inside it - all the while oblivious to Kiki INSIDE the damned car! Come on now people!!! haha!
After the bank it was off to see Wanted. First of all, it was nice to finally see some previews we hadn't already seen a bazillion times. Wanted itself was ok. May be if I had read the graphic novel I would've been more enthused. Some of the action sequences were very different. "Bullet bending" is definitely a concept way past due in exploring!
I really, really, really, really like my car. Part of me wonders if I made a mistake - should I have gotten a smaller car, cheaper car, better fuel economy car...but then I get behind the wheel. At 6'2, there is more than enough head room even with the sunroof. I settle in and the seats are hella supportive for my bulk. I drive up the windy hill to the property and the temperature guage doesn't even flinch while the AC is going. It's weird being able to drive now and not have to worry about what may break or fall off. Sad but true.
There may have been smarter choices to make, but certainly no other choice that would've made me this happy to be driving.
