Og, you intrigue me so goddam much. Do tell me some more... please!?

OK. Their team coach broke down outside my female cousin's house. She was a substitute for the team and because her parents' house was large and near the pitch had arranged a meal for the team before the afternoon game. The coach was to be the last vehicle to leave her house so that the team could arrive after the fans.

I wasn't going. I was cook's assistant and washer up - the things one does for relations! - and my job was to clear up after they'd left and get everything ready for the victory feast or losing wake.

When their coach wouldn't start there was panic. They would lose the match by default. My cousin borrowed my car and piled all of them in it. They only had to travel about 3 miles but it was a dangerous drive. All their kit was already at the pitch so it was just bodies.

The coach driver called out his firm's mechanic and the coach was ready to collect them after the match. My cousin drove my car back.

They won. It was only a friendly match so no bones were broken. I thought mine would be. Grateful women hockey players who have won a match can be demonstrative.

Cold and frigid they were not. They were the female equivalent of rugby players - hard playing, hard working and just hard-on all the time.

Apart from that event I stayed well clear of them. I wanted to survive at least until I was 21.

I drive the rather small Toyota Starlet. It's small, not too fast (75 PS), got an ugly colour (light blue/purple-ish) and I hate it. But I'm not into cars anyways, it's just an item to go from a to b. And since it is my first car and I don't have the money for a new one I'll keep it as long as possible. And the good thing is, it's on top of the reliability list, i.e. it won't break. :)

Og, sounds like you've got the bones of a good story there. You should work it up. If you have done and I just hadn't read it yet, plese tell me which one it is.

SummerMorning, nobody said anything about a heap not running. There's lots of them that still run. We had a thread on heapdom, and it sounds to me like your car meets the requirements for heapdom.
 
I don't know what it is. It's black, and I think it's a Chevy. *sigh* I wonder why they call me scatterbrained?

Beware of Pops and Subjoe, they are notorius letches.:p
 
Don't listen to ABS, girl. (pop, do you want front or rear?)

See what I mean? Besides they love you and leave you until a newer model comes along.:(
 
A guy can flirt, a little can't he? Keeps the relationship healthy. That's what I tell my Mum, she's okay with it.

shuddering I feel suddenly dirty, like in the "Crying game".
 
Oh yeah, the Mum thing... well at least I don't have hairy back...
 
Okay. Sorry. I got confused. Didn't realize y'all were talking about me until someone actually mentioned my name. *flutters her eyelashes*

Actually, it's my one true love. I love driving it. I get to drive three and a half hours to Austin every weekend, and then back again.

Only problem is, I'm terrified of driving. It's my fourth car. And it's the last one I won't have to pay for. So I'm trying not to get too attached, just in case this one meets its demise as well.

Yes, I understand completely. It's like dogs. We outlive them, so they're always a potential source of sorrow.

I like spraying whipped cream on the roof of my Honda Shuttle and licking it off. I'm sure a lot of people are like that about Hondas.

God knows if I did have a Honda I would be, as well.

Assuming I don't already have one, that is. Then I wouldn't be. I keep going back to that. I'm going to go look at my insurance and registration and all that when I go out tonight and see if I can figure it all out.
 
That sounds like a lot of fun. No wonder you're called partygirl.

It's not so much that I outlive them - it's more like I kill them.

There have been other incidents in between the fatal ones, but so far I've managed to total my cars with:

1) a fire engine.

2) a cow.

3) and a church.

It's embarrassing.
 
What do you do, emerge from the wreckage, fluytter you eyes at the cop, and he gives you a ticket?

Please stay off my street:D
 
Yeah, you couldn't go to church, then set light to the street cow without the fire spreading.
