I like cars. My fondness for these marvels of speed and comfort has been with me since childhood. I admit I am not nearly as on top of my game as I used to be when it comes to evaluating these amazing engineering feats that grace our roads, but my appreciation for Henry Ford (not that I am enamored of those particular good ol' American cars, but he did make a deep mark on the industry), Ettore Bugatti, Wilbur Gunn, Assar Gabrielsson, Gustaf Larsson and others of that ilk will not waver. That said, today my three items I am thankful for are:
- Automobile magazine. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she? You know, I used to (and still do, to be honest) harbor a hope of becoming Jean Jennings. Just imagine how great it would be drive a fantastic variety of incredible cars and then write about them! *Sigh* (Start reading the magazine if you wonder what I am talking about.)
- My car. It's boxy, but safe!
- The fact that Ryan is really good with cars - he's can tinker with, diagnose problems and fix them. Good thing, since his car is 20 years old! And his project car is 20 years older than that!!

I like cars too... I am particularly fond of my daily driver, which unfortunately is also my project car, and is also 30 years old. Even though it is old and slow I so love driving it. 1979 Mercedes 300D
Or, like they say in that movie, "Crazy People," "They're boxy, but they're good."
Here's to cars! :)
I was trying to think of the line from that movie!
