The Joy of Driving

Hello folks. I don't know how many of you have cars, or motorcycles, or any other sort of motorized transportation device, but I do. I drive (usually) a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue, which I just recently put a dent in by running into the side of the garage door. However, in the summer, I often drive a white 1985 Chevrolet Camaro, owned by my father. It is sort of an heirloom, at least, I consider it one. Anyways, I don't know how many of you have had the pleasure of driving a sports car, but if ever offered, please don't pass it up. And especially, please take advantage of any opportunity to drive a white 1985 Chevy Camaro. Because it is just the most fun I think you can have in a car. The thing really doesn't go that fast, doesn't have any cool additions, doesn't have AC, and can't even play a CD or tape. But really, it is just so much fun to drive. The open window, rumbling engine, the feel of the shifter in your right hand, the jolt when you accelerate, it is driving ecstasy. So, now you all know that. I am a little short on cash right now, and it doesn't help when I dented my car, so I'm a little stressed about that. The thing is, if I would just be frugal, I would not have these problems. I definitely need to curb my spending. I'll have a somewhat large paycheck coming on Friday though, so I can make it. But still, no excuse. I don't need to spend as much as I do. But I suppose, I've made some big purchases this past month, like a digital camera and a cell phone. Other than that, I've been pretty good. I spend a lot on movies though. That's an area I need to improve upon. So, it's Independence Day in about 10 minutes. I hope everyone has a pleasant Fourth, and takes a little time to think about all of the joys of this beautiful country, and those who are off protecting us abroad. Happy Independence Day everyone.
