Hahaha I have a dog-hair covered Honda Civic! For the first time in a year I was able to take it to the car wash, where it was described as “brown” before being restored to its former sparkling “storm.” This piece made me feel a certain type of way towards my car, and myself. Thank you for writing it 💕

Love love love love love love this and your sparkling writing Kira. I have a Toyota Corolla (manual car with gears) that I lovingly call "Vag" as in "big vagina energy" (not BDE) and she will not die. We are chugging along together and despite me scraping and crunching we are going on together, just like my body. Relating to your analogy so hard. Life-giving hahaha.

There is a serious problem with the drive train of my Subaru (I know what’s wrong, I can’t afford to fix it). There’s a serious issue with mine, too. We haven’t stranded each other yet.

Haha your writing makes me laugh. It’s bursting with energy and life. My first car was a Honda Civic (brown) but yep it just kept going. Almost 30 years later my body is still going too, so it’s doing something, even though it doesn’t feel so good. This reminded me to be kinder to it. Can’t wait for next instalment!
