Ďakujem - Car
Since around March I have been in and out quite a bit. I told someone the other day that I wish I could have a “normal” weekend again. The last one of those that I had was in February. Next weekend I’ll be out of town again. I am sort of making up for lost time when I had no way to get around for about three months earlier this year.
Two very good friends of mine fixed up one of their cars and gave it to me as a birthday and Christmas gift. It rides nicely and outside of a couple of body panel adjustments needed, it is a solid car. It replaced another car (the red one) that I had since 2000 and it, too, was given to me by a good friend from back home.
Again, I feel that I am blessed to have such good friends (previous d’akujem). Here, I wish to express a thankfulness for having a decent vehicle to get around. Actually, it is absolutely necessary for me to get to work.
I miss living in Pittsburgh in which I could just take a bus to most of the places I needed to get to. Being in West Virginia necessitates having a car and in some places, a four-wheel drive one is even more necessary.
Despite the gas prices, insurance, taxes and other various expenses, I like the freedom of having and being able to drive a reliable car.
