I would say I just made a HUGE mistake, but I can't call it a mistake, I think it's actually the beginnings of a very bad trend. I think you can only call something a mistake if you did that thing completely oblivious to the outcome it could have. I knew the outcome of eating a bowl of lowfat popcorn with a little added hot butter and dark chocolate almonds. OUCH. Just writing that like made my laptop gain weight. The bad thing about the mistake is that it's the second time this week and it makes the my dreadmill efforts not make a difference. Ugga Bugga!
Anyway, eating the popcorn reminded me of my favorite car ever. I have to first start this story with listing the cars I've left in my path of short term favorites:
1) Used 89 Chevy Corsica--grey paint defect car (the color on the title could have read primer--really). Gave it to my grandmother because my dad said it was his and I couldn't trade it. Its air condition quit.
2) Used 93 Teal Nissan Altima--like 140,000 miles on it....when I got it, hey I was a struggling college kid. Got rid of it because it started have problems.
3) Used 98 White Honda Accord--wrecked it REAL good. Didn't like it until after it was totaled and I couldn't have it anymore.
4) fLEASED 2000 White Toyota Camary--I felt like I needed a boat license to sail this thing. I bought this one in like 15 minutes at night and just didn't realize how long five years was. Steven ended up driving it.
5) Maroon 98? Jeep Cherokee--Steven's parents took it over because we decided to try to get more fiscally responsible. Bought this one because I thought I needed more space to carry stuff. Steven ended up driving it.
6) Red 98 Saturn SC--bought this one because it was what I really wanted when I was 16 and I thought it would be great to zip into parking space and hide shopping bags in the back. Steven ended up driving this one.
7) Brownish 200? Nissan Altima--bought it off Ebay because it was a good deal and I missed my teal one. I don't think Steven ever had to drive this one.
8) 200? White VW Passat--bought this one because I like the interior light colors and I thought it was THE ONE until I got preggars and the smell made me puke. Steven ended up driving this one.
9) 2004 Black Nissan Murano--hated them at first, then liked the crossover component of it. As I walked around the new car inspection and signed off on it, someone sprayed paint nearby and it went all over my brand new car right there in the parking lot of the dealership. Fought with Nissan in Kennesaw for the last 2 months of my pregnancy until they agreed to buy it from me and sell me...
10) my second 2004 Black Nissan Murano--love it, but Steven drives it because I just had to have.....
11) my current 2008 White Nissan Altima--love it, but my favorite car isssssssssssssss: what I have yet to get which is an Infinity G20 which I'm waiting for Joey at Pye to start selling and then I can buy it.
So, I got my first car at 17 and sixteen years later, I have had 11 cars! Steven says that we aren't trading anymore. But, how does he know I won't find my the car that will make everything seem right? **Shallow laugh**
So, if I had to choose from the eleven cars, each one has reasons it could be my favorite--

So, if I had to choose from the eleven cars, each one has reasons it could be my favorite--
1) Corisca--got me to and from some of my first jobs, hauled my precious sister who was the most patient person in the world around, as well as my sweet cousins Anna, Amy and Phil on some afternoons from school
2) Altima--the interior was so soft
3) Accord--the airbags saved my life in a crash where I was hit head on twice while sitting still and the other person was going like 60 mph
4) Camry--NOTHING, hated it
5) Cherokee--first SUV
6) Saturn--fun to drive
7) Ebay Altima--great experience
8) Passat--great insides, "Your bootlid is open." The German factor wore off!
9 & 10) Murano--lots of fun ride to vacations, it's just a sexy car LOL
11) current Altima--has lots of buttons to press inside, the blue tooth is interesting, the color is good, the trunk is big
So, there, my I'm so promiscuous when it comes to cars. It kinda makes me feel bad.

I so remember riding in the Corsica and I thought it was the coolest car! I don't even remember the paint job of course I was just glad you picked me up from school instead of Nanny Ree.
One time she came to get me and my friend Allison and she had just been to the eye dr so she had those HUGE Ray Charles sunglasses on. I said something about it and my friend was like, " Shhh, she can hear you." I said, "No, it's okay, she can't."
Thank goodness for the days of the Corsica!
