My Wheels for the Week

It is with no joy whatsoever to report that my car has been banished to the mechanic for the entire coming week because my clutch needs replacing.

Yes, I drive a stick. And I love it. However, I feel like I got a new clutch too recently to be going through this right now. I'm gonna have to go back and figure out when that was. Time is funny, it gets harder and harder for me to keep track of what happened when as I inch into my elderly years. 

But if I have to find a silver lining, which I like to do when I can, it's that I was fully prepared about a year ago to get a new timing belt, only to be informed that my car has no timing belt. So now I guess things are evening out. Somewhat.

Regardless, the point here is that I just picked up the snazzy rental car pictured above that I'll be zooming around in while my precious stick-shift is being tended to. It's a Hyundai. And it's red. I didn't pick it out, but it is as though we were meant to be brought together. I will enjoy this while it lasts. Driving a rental is always fun, I cannot lie. It's like staying in a fancy hotel, but on wheels. 

And now, Mexi-food.
