Nauran ääneen sun kanssa, kun kuuntelen tätä juttua Rovaniemen linja-autoasemalla lauantaiaamuna klo 8 ollessani matkalla noutamaan omaa valkoista autoa Sodankylästä, jonne se jäi viime viikolla epäonnisesti tuen päälle. 🙈 Mutta niin on rakas auto se, joten ymmärrän todella, mistä kirjoitat. Kaikki autoni eivät ole olleet, mutta mulla näyttäisi olevan jokin erityinen tunneside Toyotoihin... Tai ehkä kyse on sittenkin elämäntilanteistani, johon nämä Toyotat ovat astuneet. Joka tapauksessa, odotan jälleennäkemistä valkoisen Toyotani kanssa innolla (enää reilu 2 tuntia). Hänellä ei tosin ole nimeä, sillä GLS...

Honestly, I didn’t think reading about cars could be this entertaining. You have me a new perspective on how to think about our cars.

This was such a fun read! I love cars and I love driving - not a very popular opinion I guess. And found so many reference points in your story.

-My cousin and her husband always named the cars depending on the license plate. Wilbur, Olly etc

-My husband´s beautiful blue Peugot 404 from 1965 (best possible year of course) was called La Madame while the other french cars (naturally when married to a francophile) were simply the Citroen cars... very boring I know.

-I got my driver´s licens at 44 after plenty of trial and errors. One of the examiners asked me if I knew that the car had more than two gears...

-I grew up in a family of six and no one had a driver´s licence. My eldest sister was the first one and she was 50 when she got hers.

Today I have sadly gone from two cars to none and miss driving immensly.

Ah, such a delightful comment! Thanks ever so much for sharing, Carina! I was a bit worries none would understand what I'm talking about... 😅 Seems like we agree on many things when it comes to cars and driving. 😍
