Seven months and another transmission rebuild later, Iโ€™m reunited with my car.

I went to my old home group in Austin.

The only people really left were the ones I had been closest to.

They had welcomed a stranger and been kind to me.

Do you ever feel like pulling out an emory board at a meeting and snarking “soooo, where’d all the winners go?”

I forgot about that sweet spot at about 79MPH when the whole car has this weird industrial sounding hum.

I lock into that sound and resonate with it. Itโ€™s pleasant for some reason.

I am sitting in the nuclear reactor.

Click, set, go.

I drove through all the hues of Texas and watched the lightning lick across a wide open desert sky for hundreds of miles late last night.

It was neat. If I could be anywhere right now this is exactly where Iโ€™d like to be.
