car. Stacie shall remain anonymous (crap. Oh well). She, at my
request, listed the things she hates about my car:
1. It is a manual transmission (why does my family hate the manual?)
2. Everything inside is manual-locks, windows, etc (its all I could
afford at the time).
3. It has a dent in the back, a huge dent/scrape on the passenger
door, the front bumper is falling off, and the roof is dented where a
deer I didn't hit landed on the roof of my car. Only two of those are
my fault and one involved snow.
4. It's yellow. I love the color of my car.
5. (Man this is a long list) It has a funny shape-I can't remember
what she said it looked like. Matt will know and comment, I'm sure.
I chose my car in December 2001 because it screamed Emily from the
color to the shape to the manual transmission. By the way, I looked
for that car in that color and manual transmission and got the run
around for two weeks before somebody got the car for me. I worked hard
for that car. My car is an extension of my personality so when Stacie
said all that it made me angry (even if it is true its still mean).
The moral is, don't insult someones car, even if you hate it, because
you could be insulting the person. The End.

I hate manual transmissions only because I'm bitter that I do not know how to work one. Humph!
Your car is da bomb and you know it! That's the car we took our road trip to Nauvoo in. And everyone knows that manual is the way to go. Well, okay, obviously not everyone but everyone that matters anyway. As far as manual everything else, my theory is that you always need at least one manual way to get out of your car. What happens if you drive off into a lake and your electrical circuit box is fried? How do you roll down the window? How do you unlock the doors? You can't and you will die inside your car at the bottom of the lake. Go manual!!
Thanks Rhia. You always have the best/funniest answers. Alison, I would be happy to teach you to drive a manual transmission.
Hey Emily! I remember your car when you first got it. I thought it was so cute. It is definately and extension of you.
I told Emily she could have a Mini Cooper with the manual transmission, and I might try again to learn to drive manual. Em's a good teacher, I just stress myself out.
Em's car isn't just da bomb, it's a bomb :)
If you drive your car into a lake, you want to roll down the windows first anyway, it'll keep the car from rolling over. And my electric locks will still open without electricity (I know some of those cars suck the knob down into the door when locked, so they might not work).
I don't hate Em's car, I just think it's seen better days. Many of them. I hope she doesn't abuse her Mini the way she's abused her Focus.
