Damn, I miss my jeep.

It's like when you hear about people who've lost a limb. They can still feel it there even though it's gone. Phantom pain. After 12 years and putting about 325,000 miles on it (of 358,400), my arm still feels that shifter. I slide up to the teller window and I'm no longer right there. I have to reach up to everything. That will take a LOT of getting used to. When I traded it in, the dude said he'd never seen so many miles on a jeep. Well, the Solara is growin' on me. The feel of bein' in it reminds me of the '82 trans-am that I drove in grad school in the late 80s. It should get much better mileage, which is why I went in this direction, and then one day when it's paid for I can look for another jeep or a truck to play with. SUCKS to have to make car payments. It's been 10 years since I had to do that. I'll learn to love it. Shit, Ill have it for ten years. That's what I do.
