ninanevermoreThis morning, I stepped out to find a pickup truck in my driveway. Jeff bought it from a co-worker.
My Elantra acts like she has a crush on the truck. It's a boy truck. I told her that her feelings are inappropriate, because we have adopted the truck and that makes him her brother. It would be automotive incest, and I would find that disturbing.
Now we have 5 vehicles. 3 of them run. 2 of them run well. 1 of them does not run and is for sale. 1 is in the garage with its guts hanging out while my husband works on the transmission. 3 are American, 1 is Japanese and one is British. 2 are blue, 1 is bright yellow, 1 is green and 1 used to be black but the paint is so bad that its look defies any color description.
Wow. Five cars. Why don't I feel rich? Because 3 of the cars are projects and the other two aren't paid for. Even the one that we are selling is a project, because work must be done to it before anyone will buy it.
Meanwhile, I have to get my Elantra to resolve the feelings about her new brother in a healthy and constructive way. I don't know why I don't just let it be. Since they are both adopted, this is a gray area. Besides, they are both automobiles and it's not like they will be making babies (go carts?). I guess I'll look the other way while my Elantra makes a fool of herself.
