v-tec

I own a honda civic si with a v-tec engine. This apparently means it has a lot of power. I chose it cause it was sporty looking and I looked cute driving it. I own a car because I have to for work, not cause I love driving. In fact, most times I hate it...if given the chance, I let other people drive me about in my car. I don't even have a name for my car..though i'm sure it's a he. Don't even ask me about maintenance and washing it...my dad is truly disappointed in my level of respect and care of the car.

tonight, i LOVED driving him. I went out to pick up my girlfriends who live on the east side of the city and I took the lakeshore route to get there..a fairly open piece of road with fewer lights and plenty of opportunity to be a bit aggressive...35 degrees and humid even as the sun went down...sunroof open, windows cranked, stereo cranked..i finally drove him as he was meant to be driven. I felt alive. free...yet in control. most times I don't like the loudness of my engine but tonight I loved it. I find it funny how a depreciating piece of metal can make me feel such exhilarating power and sense of control..
