mortification

you know the people that come puttering up to the stop light or the ones that putter around the parking lot? their cars sound like off the track trains? yes, i always get embarassed for those people simply because I know they are embarassed that their cars are making such heinous noises. well now I'm the one in the puttering car drivers seat. it is mortifying. i pull up to a stop light and people just stare and look awkwardly over at me.( i recognize this because I do it also) So-will my car ever be the same? i knew it should have been completely totaled out. who knows-they swear nothing is wrong with it...it should be "just like new" ha. that's a laugh. When I told Haley that...her response was, "well, did they drive it?" Now that should give you some indication of the heinousness of this noise. And if that doesn't do it-today Mark Kate told me to make my car quit "shaking." ugh. the volvo never gave me these kind of problems. at least when it was out of whack-it had the decency not to start at all. mortifying. I can't wait to take it to Memphis and have someone reputable look at it. Until then-if you are in Austin-no, your car is not the one making noise-look beside you...it's mine. rattle rattle.

perhaps I need the scout?
