camping, paisley, the color green, exhaust, dust, am radio, hoping one day to cruise the roads...maybe go on tour, see the grand canyon, travel route 66, take pictures of the largest roll of yarn. Not having to pass emissions tests, glow-in-the-dark paint and cool blinky lights, running over squirrels, possums, armadillos, gasoline of course...

About me:
I was born in 1973, in Germany. I spent most of my youth driving to and from various camping outings and eventually when the kids didn’t think camping was cool anymore, sat in a storage facility for 15 years, all alone, with nobody to love or take care of me. Then, someone found me, but didn’t quite have the wits to bring me back to life, so I got passed on to someone else. He had a few dollars, but didn’t have enough time for me anymore once they had their first kid, plus work had them moving to Austin and I wasn't in any shape to go with them. I was mostly whole, but upset and rusted, and in many different parts in their garage. Everyone agreed the best thing for me to do was to move .. After all I wasn't getting any younger!
So the ad was placed and that’s when I met Rob and Jessica. My goodness that guy replaced like so much stuff on me, and I feel like a kid again (minus this recent engine trouble). He painted me this wacky neon green, and she did this crazy paisley paint job on me and they put these tacky lights underneath me so I can be part of the art car community. It is a bit of a departure from my old plaid interior, but at least I don't have that crappy sink leaking on me anymore. Most other cars stare at me all funny (there aren’t many of my kind around anymore you know), but I don’t mind, I just keep puttin' along.
Sorry for the novel, but you know, I don't get a chance to talk much ;)
Who I'd like to meet: Kharman Ghia..she's a hottie
