Phone photo 2053

I bought this 2000 Buick Regal a few months ago. This car has an attitude, almost like riding a pony with a strong independent streak, an activity I was familiar with on the Shetland farm where I was raised. It has already killed two animals, a bird and a squirrel. The electronic door locks loudly go off and on at random, like the vehicle is attempting to talk or comment.

I suspect the previous owner died behind the wheel. His or her handwritten notes survive on the car's handbook, "Must ... warn, beware of Na... Nad... Nada... Aaargh! Ugh! Nngh! Ergh! Croak!"

And then-- nothing.

This is Christine's little sister.

And thus the car shall henceforth be known as:

Nadine.

I just need to get on her good side. This will be a test of my automotive political and social skills.
