so, of all the things that i was looking forward to in the kerry administration, the most personal one was- i could retire this car-
![](http://mocahill.womanmade.net/pics/1.jpg)
now, i do love her. i will miss her horribly. she is rusty, blowing oil, crumbling. it would take an engine, and at least $500 to really keep her going. i was looking forward to her work being done, so that i may move along to a reliable, efficient, new car (which the hubby will NOT let me "decorate").
i have been joking about taking her to burning man. probably not, but i have been dreaming about some such appropriate send-off.
trouble is, her work is not done. now i feel like i have to drive her to d.c. for the coronation, at the least.
so, what do you think i should do?
