My Car is Alive Blog

Now, I don’t mean my car is alive like K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider, though I do wish it would talk to me in the voice of Mr. Feeney (no offense to Val Kilmer but I didn’t watch the remake…or the original).  My car also hasn’t begun doing also tricks like the Gadgetmobile or the Batmobile.  Nor has my car begun butting into my personal life to help me solve a problem like Herbie.  You may be wondering how in the world my car could be alive.  You may think you have it figured out.  There really aren’t that many other options.  I am trying to build suspense but it really doesn’t work in a blog that is only 3-5 paragraphs anyways.  I could just never tell you but that defeats the purpose of the blog.  Ok, just skip on past the pictures and read the next paragraph.

K.I.T.T. and the Hoff

I see you follow directions well; I appreciate that quality in a reader.  You may be thinking that the only other way my car could be alive is if it was a Transformer.  Let me assure you it is not (at least that I am aware of).  But, if it was you can just about guarantee that it would be just as disappointed in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as everybody else.  Actually, an argument could easily be made that the first movie wasn’t all that great but I maintain that at least the first one was entertaining and had a little more that just special effects.  But, I must digress because this isn’t about Transformers.  If it was I would’ve started off with something more like “Autobots, roll out” or more likely I would’ve quoted lyrics from Touch by Stan Bush (the song from the animated movie in the 80’s).  I do secretly hope that you now have, “You’ve got the touch, you’ve got the power” stuck in your head.  But, you must continue on to finally find out how my car is alive (another suspense attempt).

If you don't know who this is I'm not going to tell you.

 Alright, we both (I assume there will only be 1 reader) know that the suspense attempt were mere gimmicks.  So let me just get right down to it, my car has feelings.  I know this because I obviously hurt my cars feelings.  I made a decision to passively car shop for a car that got better gas mileage since I have a decent sized commute everyday for work.  My car must’ve heard my discussion with my dad because it is now getting approximately 1.5 mpg better than it was.  It is obviously trying to avoid being traded in.  Now, I kind of feel bad for it, but not bad enough to stop looking for a new one.  I’m pretty sure the only way I will stop looking for a new one is one or more of the following happens.  My car becomes a Transformer.  My car begins to talk to me.  My car starts doing crazy things like the Gadgetmobile, Batmobile, or the Magic School Bus.  Lastly, my car fixes its air-conditioning.  I highly doubt any of these will happen so I am still on the lookout for a good car deal.

I would apologize for wasting your time, but if you chose to read this then you should’ve known what you were getting yourself into.
