Recently this past weekend, friends and I were conversing about car names. Every car has to have a name ...given its personality. My cars in the past have been named around the PITA concept ...Pain In The Ass :) However, the geo is a step up. With her two-toned color she really takes to her model name, Prizm. I dont have a real personal name for her ...the Geo works ...sums it all up in the make.
But recently she has been getting a lot of miles and things just start to sage, droop, and wrinkle with age, ya know? Well my current problema is that my window doesnt roll down (this would be the only great time for self roll up windows, i dont even know what they're called). I have power windows but no power is going to my window. Out of all the windows that could possibly not work, its mine. I mean no one ever really rides in the geo ...maybe willow so cmon geo ...
I was like okay no big deal right? WRONG! You dont realize how many things you need to roll your window down for and if you cant you look retarded. For example, everyday i go into work, into the employees parking lot (yes, i'm an employee somehow with no salary ..ha) and i have to use my access card to get through the gate and everyday i have to pull up close but in front of the access point and open my door and lean back, extend my arm, slam the card in without dropping the card because my elbow is breaking and then rush to pull the card out and shut the door all before the gate goes down. I think I break a sweat.
Example number two. Dont go to ATMs. I mean its been so long since i've been into a bank i dont even know what to do ...nonetheless my bank account number?!?!?!
Example number three. Drive-thrus are a NO. This sucks. Who really wants to get out and stand in line at starbucks or anywhere for that matter. I really appreciate the few places you can go through on the passenger side. hahah i've only seen that once at some random burger joint and laughed because i thought it was useless. Not now.
Example four. I freaking live in Florida. Its always hot and nice here. So I have my sun roof open (yes, the geo is that big time for a sun roof ...holler!) but my window up. Thats a fun breeze. No air coming in to feel the breeze on your face and sing at the top of your lungs.
I've realized how much of a convenience I'm use to and when i dont have something thats accustom I'm perturbed. I'm working on it ...and finding joy along the way :)
the geo is good because GOD is good. Live life, choose joy.
