how much i love the beast (a day in the life)

Well damn, i was reading rico's thread about his potentially blown engine and it made me realise how much i love every day with my 7.

-get up and have to go outside in the freezing cold 15 mins earlier because the thing has to warm up.

-stroll on over, drivers door doesn't lock, no worries there

-once she's near warm, take off down the street, stalling at every stop sign.

-petrol's a constant worry, the gauge always floats somwhere around empty, depending on what i had to buy the car this week

-the car's an absolute *** to drive in slow moving/stopped traffic. sometimes i dream of an auto.

-reach destination, car idles for a further 3 mins, ears ringing from the noise, mates house shaking from the sound.

but i love it, sorry guys the thought of loosing her put me on a downer.

I loved my last FC more than anything I currently posses. Unfortunately the steering broke when I slid threw some gravel and caught the nasty regular road, then I hit the stupid poll. I am getting another though.
