Driving Lynn’s Car

Posted on March 22, 2003 in Activity

I drove Lynn’s car down to the tire place today (too rainy last weekend). When I get in the Tercel, I suddenly become a dwarf. I’m six foot four in real life and sitting in the Tercel brings me down to about 4 foot nothing. I’m looking up at just about everything and everyone walking on the street.

I like the truck. It brings me to a higher level — about Lynn’s height. I can see over the other cars and look down the freeway to see what is jamming the road. The difference in driving the Tercel and driving the truck is that when I am in the Tercel, I feel like a rat scurrying around looking for a bolthole. In the truck, I feel more like myself, striding.

Pity that the truck gets worse gas mileage.
