City Wendy recently shared a great post on letting go of her car in preparation for moving to NYC… It got me to thinking about when I moved to the city, and how hard it was to sell my own:

I remember selling my Jeep when I moved to NYC. Kt remembers that Jeep… it practically defined me (in all my Han Solo glory). A Jeep is a car like an F16 is a plane… it’s more than just transportation. When you drive a Jeep, and you encounter someone else on the road also driving a Jeep, you wave at one another. I don’t know why, but you do. Selling it was one of the hardest things I ever did.

I bought it when I moved out of my mom’s house at 16, and it was the only thing I could count on… even when it broke down it was reliable, in that I could fix whatever was wrong with a crescent wrench, a pair of pliers, and a screwdriver. I drove it distances it was never designed for, in weather it performed poorly in, and with more passengers than was safe. I once had a hitch-hiker ask to be let out because he was scared to ride with me at 70 miles an hour.

When it’s raining, and you’re walking with your umbrella at eye-level, watch where the fuck you’re going.

Seriously.

You injured me today, I didn’t like it, you didn’t like the name I called you, and it was all totally avoidable.

Oh, and by the way, the rain had stopped, so put your effing umbrella away, ‘kay? 

Oh, you missed out… the BBQ was soooooo gooooooood.
