I am not the average car-driver. I love my vehicle, and I really try to take very good care of it. In the same way the human body needs glucose, gasoline is the source of energy for my vehicle. Even though gas prices have fluctuated to my pocket's detriment, the tank is always filled. My vehicle takes me where I want to go and whenever I want.

My vehicle is a symbol of my appreciation for technology and of my remembrance of my past. It has been about 15 years since I have had a car. Before then, I had to walk everywhere. It was extremely rough for my children and I. Sometimes they cried openly while I cried silently because we were so tired. In retrospect, walking was a big part of our lives - my life. Now that I have my vehicle, it has put an end to all of that.
