Haiku Friday: Favorite Cars
So, really, I bought the Acura. It fit me the best. The Lexus was too lux, and Subaru was too slow. My former car, the Mazda, was fun and peppy and I need some of that in my life behind the wheel. The Acura was the best balance of fun & not crashing and dying in a fiery wreck at the foot of a giant snowdrift.
Check out how much my new car looks like the old one-- just slightly larger (it is the Acura in the top photo):
I love the Acura already. It has an amazing stereo system-- in fact, on Wednesday night I just sat and listened to cd's in the garage for a while. That's a good sign, huh?
I've had a lot of amazing cars, and this may be my favorite. Let's haiku about cars from our past, shall we? If you have more than one favorite... write more than one haiku! Just make the first line five syllables, the second line seven syllables, and the last line five. Feel free to include the name of your favorite car.
Here is mine:
My dear old Del Sol
Had pep and vigor, but no
Air conditioning!
Now it is your turn...

Have so many memories
Hoping to make more

Never trade her in

Strong, reliable... the best!

I've never had the
car I wanted, changes with
my needs. Borrrrrring.

now. Pushbutton doors, Butt warmers
"I Heart My LIBRARY" Sticker.
But My library
does not heart me. Still, Van is
better than Bill's Car.
Bill drives The Beast.
Y2K Expedition.
Only 30K miles.
Its like driving a
Two Story Building wearing
a blindfold. BLECCH.
Still, Both of these
NerdMobiles are Paid For.
They're How We Roll in the 503.

1957 356A Porsche - no fuel pump - vapor locked if you shut it off and tried to restart. Best car ever - sold when offered too much money and in state of financial insolvency. Mourned deeply.
Not haiku - just grief long felt.

My Dear Old Stinky
Six thousand bucks in '85
Only one breakdown
What was the breakdown?
Five adults and struts said: "No!
Stinky carries ONE!
Just one shrimpy girl,
maybe her bike and that's it!"
yelled loyal Stinky.
Simple life back then.
Now girl drives a bullet hole
sticker adorned van.

Cars matter in the 313. i know this, I am FROM THERE TOO. I used to work for CAR GUYS. I had my own subscription to AUTOWEEK.
I totally agree.
But, if you married a guy with 13 amplifiers and an exotic tonewoods fetish, you would drive what I drive too. I need Stow and Go Seats, leather McNuggetProof upholstery, and room for the guitars, the wood, the parts and Marshall stacks.

Mine's candy apple red, but I was inspired by Osler to get a Speed3 after I drove his. Great car for Texas w/ a fine stereo system as well.
