NEW!! Christmas v2.0!

Today I got my CRX repaired, finally. It has been over 4 weeks and I have spent over $200, but it is fit to drive once again. Even though there is not a bigger pile of rusted crap in the greater Twin Falls area, I love this car. Nothing gives me greater joy than to drive around town. I could drive for hours on end on the exact same roads. I do not even have to go very fast, it is just so fun.

I guess I like to drive because it gives me a feeling of near-complete control. I decide where the car goes, I decide how fast the car goes. Now that I am able to drive again, I feel myself experiencing the same feeling about it as my good friend Brad does. I just want to hit the open road and drive for hours without caring where I end up.

There are 2 reasons why that would not work. The first is due to limitations on the longevity of the car itself. Currently, I would be nervous to try to drive it to Boise. The second is from my financial and educational obligations. I need to finish school so that I have a future as something other than a fast-food drive-through jockey.

I am going to cut this entry short so that I can drive around town a bit more before I have to be at work.

The picture that I have included is that illustrating the part that had to be replaced on my car. Click on it to see a big version.

Have a good night!
