D Car — November 2003

‘My favorite car is an EJ-1 Civic coupe. I’d paint it purple with a purple pearl effect, and I’d like a yellow interior!’ ‘Wait, could that possibly be…?’ ‘That’s right, it’s my car!’ ‘Whoa! It really is!’ ‘And lately I’ve gotten hooked on studying cars. I’m honestly learning from the very beginning. I didn’t even know the names of the parts…’ ‘I see. So what’s the latest part name you learned?’

‘Um, what was it…? I forgot! I’ll come back better prepared (sobs).’ ‘Keep studying…’ ‘I got the car and let my guard down. I’ve been neglecting my studies. Speaking of being careless, I often run out of gas.’ ‘That really is careless.’ ‘Well, my motto is “where there’s a will, there’s a way,” so even when I’m low on gas I keep driving, thinking it’ll work out somehow… but it doesn’t, and I end up running out.’ Apparently, she wants to keep a Chihuahua-like boy. Any prospective pet owners, buy a jerry can and look for a purple J11!
