If a woman can live in a shoe, then why can’t I drive one?

Sadly, I’m gonna need a new ride in the next year or so. My road warrior SUV has 242K miles. I would love nothing more than for it to continue running-forever. It has been by far the best car I have ever owned. And I have had a few doozies; many had made it to stage as comedy.

My mechanic who has been caring for my sidekick has even told me likes a doctor breaking the news about a terminal disease—you need to start planning for the end.

Thinking about a new car is fun, actually having to shop for one and then pay for it—not fun, more nightmare.

I can tell you right now I would rock a Maserati! I love beautiful cars! To quote a movie we all know “ I have a need for speed!” Anyone who has even driven with me knows I can pull out the Mario Andretti when needed to get where we need to be—in lets say a timely manner. I love high performance cars. I also have a passion for late 60s muscle cars—so fabulous in style. Sadly neither is practical for my wallet or current driving needs. Yes I need a hybrid—which is hilarious for those who know my “love” of Prius drivers. I jest in fun. So maybe we can start a crowd funding for a New Lauramobile.  The worst part of all this—the current shoe budget is at zero as I save for a car. Shoes- cars they are both forms of transportation and in my life both need to be sexy. Fingers crossed for the Tesla ;o)
