is a different experience
it's a Mazda
I test drove one of those
before I bought my
CURRENT
CAR
there's something about it
I got in the car
it's got one of those
PUSH
buttons
I hate those
I don't enjoy the push button experience
& it triples my
LOCK the KEYS in the CAR
ANXIETY
I couldn't figure out the air-conditioning
I'm LIKE
I'll roll down the window -- a little
I couldn't figure out the radio
ANYWAY
I tried to drive the speed limit
I read and re-read
the directions
I copied
from maps search
& I'm LIKE
do you remember any of this
from times you've driven
BEFORE
& NO
nothing ever sticks
there are at LEAST two ways
I've GONE and I NEVER
KNOW
which one is which
& TODAY
I took TOLL roads
& I don't think I've GONE this way before
BUT
I feel like there should be some
OVERLAP
I couldn't find it
I JUST DROVE
there was a point I thought it might be electric*
it's a HYBRID
*she just drops that in with no context
I SAW
something about charging
& I had to run back
when you checked for gas cap release
it wasn't a weird new symbol
WAS IT -- it was NOT
SO
I didn't freak out
which side was the gas cap on
you DIDN'T check THAT
you ALWAYS check that
I think I just was in this
FLOW STATE
& I don't know which things contributed
I didn't buy that car
because
it was
UNCOMFORTABLE
& I thought it was because
I was TOO FAT
for the
TINY
CAR
BUT
this thing is
BIG
but it is ALL UP in my SPACE
the seatbelt cuts
I'm LIKE
I got this touk
I wore cause it was inextricably
FORTY FIVE DEGREES
it's warmer now
I'm jamming it under the seat belt
it's got
BLIND SPOTS
it's all the headrests
which are somehow completely
WRONG for me
BUT
I love the way the car feels
it's the kind of thing
that makes me
TURN it
back around
MAYBE
this is a BETTER
POSTURE
& what it wrings in stress with the
blind spots
it gives
BACK
with the back up camera
the intuitive side mirror adjustment
the exact intuitive side sensor
BUT
I'm not even sure
my mind was wandering
