Car Trouble
Sometimes when we have car trouble it brings to mind every time I’ve ever had car trouble in my life. Even though it’s such a little thing in my life now, it used to be a life and death kind of thing when I was younger. When I have car trouble, my mind knows that it’s just an inconvenience, but my heart goes into my throat.
I can tell myself that it’s just a radiator boiling over, but it makes me feel like the Golf is unreliable. Sure, it’s a twelve-year-old car. Maybe it’s time for me to consider it unreliable.
All it took was a little water and anti-freeze to get it going again. It hasn’t over-heated since, but now my faith in that car has been shaken.
