So I was thinking today about how crazy it would be to win the lottery. And that extremely wealthy people always have the nicest, most luxurious cars that money can buy. And usually a fleet of them. Then I started thinking how I’ll probably never drive, let alone own, a car like that. (I’m not really into cars so I’m not sure where this whole thought process came from…Random!)

Then I thought about my car Dash, an Acura Legend, and cheered right up. That’s right. I love Dash. And at one time back in 1994 he was a top of the line luxury vehicle. So there, self. I drive a luxury car every day. Granted, the leather seats are worn and torn, the paint is peeling, the belts have started to squeal (in high school when my Honda did that in the school parking lot I thought I would die of embarrassment. Now it just makes me laugh. Aaahhhhh maturity) and the trunk leaks, but that’s small potatoes for a car that’s 17 years old!

The heated seats work like a charm on cold winter mornings, the sunroof allows the sunshine to stream in and it has SIX speeds. I have never driven Dash above speed 5 but still. It’s pretty cool. And you know what? If I ever win the lottery Dash is going to get a full makeover to be restored to his former glory.

And if I keep him long enough he might even become a classic…

What is your car’s name? (It’s common knowledge cars perform much better when named.)
