Okay. I have to admit it. I’m one of those people who always looked longingly at the tanned, perfectly coiffed and sunglassed Newport Beach women in their convertible Porsches and wished I was sitting in that seat. Of course, it was a kind of fantasy because I didn’t really think I’d ever buy something so unnecessary and extravagant. I had enough money. That wasn’t the problem. It’s just that while I am not cheap I’ve never been what I’d consider wasteful. Plus, I was in a four person family, and saving my money for a future. But that wound up disintegrating with my (ex)boyfriend’s change of heart.
So here I am, a few months later, in my own 2002 Porsche Boxter S, and feeling a bit like Marie Antoinette waiting for the villagers to come get me for the opulent and extravagant lifestyle I’m living. But, “What the hell” I think. “You only live once, and not for too long at that, right?”
So I’m driving up Oak Creek Canyon last night with the top down, full moon shining through the clouds, and the smell of pending rain and fireplaces burning aromatic wood and suddenly thought, “This is as good as it gets”.
I smiled happily, mentally checked the Boxter off my “100 Things To Do Before I Die” list, and realized that it’s time I started checking off things instead of always adding them. Later this week I’ll be working on ”Drive Route 66″.
So we can expect Cars II to be produced soon?
