Our best friend

I would like to introduce you to our best friend on our year of service: our car!


Some may say we are spoiled to have a car, but the truth is it allows us to do much more work than we would be able to do if we were on foot or using buses. In addition, we are able to transport people and bring them to events.
Our car is a tiny Renault Twingo we have affectionately named Foxy. (The "A" means the driver has had their license for less than two years)


As wonderful as Foxy is, and as much as we love her, she has a few problems, the most annoying one being that there is no handle on the driver's door, meaning that the window must be opened all the way in order to open the door from the outside.


The most worrisome problem is that the display you see on the speedometer while it is parked, is what the car always displays...i.e. the speedometer doesn't work. The gas gage doesn't really work either.


By now you have certainly figured out that the air-conditioning in this car doesn't work...but just in case we ever wanted to try, we wouldn't be able to...the dial is gone. And we still don't know what used to be in that big hole.


If we ever did get the urge to fix something in the car, we can find all the spare parts we need right there! There are even spare parts from other cars!


Some would say that our roof needs a paint job...we like to think that our car is very fashionable...I mean, all the jeans nowadays are faded right? (please notice the peach air freshener!)


Hubcaps? Who needs 'em?


Despite all these little problems (oh yes, have I mentioned that the alternator broke today?) Foxy is a great car and a great friend and hey, at least we can feel cool inside...check out the seat covers!!!!! ;-)
