Carpocalypse: The Returnening

[alliancesjr]

A journey in which I steal nomenclature from cleolinda.

Picked Gwen¹ up after work last night, paid the money. She rides like a DREAM, it's almost as if she's brand new again. I've missed her even more than I normally would have, too; the loaner car I got was a Cavalier named "Tiger".

Tiger is a tiny, tiny car. Very tiny. Tiny tiny tiny. Tiger is what The Littlest Edward™² would drive if he couldn't find The Littlest Volvo. Coming right after driving Gwen, it felt like my butt was an inch from dragging on the ground.

As long as Gwen is worth every penny, that's what counts.

This is Kerri btw.
