If I haven't driven it, it's new to me!I GOT A NEW (to me) CAR! That's right, America (or at least the meager percentage of you that cares enough about me to read my blog)! I have a new (to me) car! It's still a 1990 station wagon, but instead of a Toyota Camry, it's a Mercedes Benz 300 TE! That's right - I'm big pimpin'! Here's a pic!  Me and my new car! It's a gen-yoo-ine Mercedes!
In the grand history of giving the cars I drive odd names (not a long history - as I've only owned one, now two, cars - but a grand one nonetheless), I've decided to name this new vehicle 'Zarathustra' after the titular prophet of Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Obscure? Yes. Awesome? YES! Me and Zarry - see how excited?!
CHECK OUT ALL THIS TRUNK SPACE!!!
Now, don't get me wrong - I loved Chewbacca. However, he was an old car whose brakes didn't wanna work when I wanted to stop. And he had over 200,000 miles on him. He also leaked everytime it rained, the rear windshield wiper didn't work, it couldn't dispense washer fluid, it was a notorious oil chugger... the list goes on. He was a good car who got me from point A to point B when I needed to get there (most of the time.) Still, it was time to put him down. Much as I love Zarathustra (which I do), I will assuredly miss Chewie (which I do). Rest in peace, Chewie - you're my dog!
