Mighty Morphin Civic

i always wonder if my green '97 civic lx (four-door no less!) looks like a cop car to other people. and i say this because it seems like when i'm driving, cars slow down. now, the adorable one would argue that i tend to drive like i'm in the indianapolis 500. as you can imagine, i tend to differ. in my old age of 37, i usually will not drive over 70 (on the highways and interstates people, please) because of the rampant radaring by our local police departments, which really, in my opinion, should be trying to solve actual crimes.

regardless, i find it very odd to be driving along, passing a few cars here and there, and then i look in my rearview mirror, and there's this big ole batch of cars like a couple hundred yards behind me like i'm a cop or something. it's weird.

what i really wish is that the civic could morph into a helicopter and i could just fly to and from work. or just fly around. maybe if i had a helicopter i wouldn't have to work. then again, it would be really cool if i could just fly. i've always wanted to be able to fly--an airplane, a rocketpack, a parachute, a hang-glider, a parasail, whatever.

i'm thinking there was a good chance i was a bird in a former life.

(for the record, this is not my baby. mine has a very cool ku jayhawk license plate on the front, natch.)
