The only advantage to getting my car wrecked
So I had to go do some stuff around the suburbs today, and with poor Yoshi in shambles, I decided to rent a car. I trucked down to the Loop, where I had reserved a sedan at Avis. When I got there, they offered me that Mustang for a $5 upgrade. It took me about 2 seconds to think it over, and I was soon up and away, zooming along Lakeshore Drive in a Mustang. My ambition: if I ever catch the s-o-b who smashed Yoshi, they're paying for part of my rental!
Now, it's an ambition of mine to own some kind of car like that some day (though I imagine most guys have similar ambitions), so I milked the Mustang for all its worth. I did all sorts of guy things with it: I drove 70 in a 55 zone (bad-ass!) on the expressway; I took it to the mall; I took it to Target for a sock run. I did that in the last half of the day, at least. The first part I was concentrating on not wrecking the car.
As is my tradition, I gave the car a name: Rockhound, after a certain Armageddon character who, like me, "just wanted to feel the power between my legs, brother." So, Rockhound, thank you for driving me to Target!
