I've become quite the evangelist for ZipCar, despite one horrible Saturday when the untenable state of the Mini I hearted so much nearly ruined the SM meetup by helping me be very late...
I meant to post my "Steal My Cherry" list from this morning's clusterfuck of bad timing which was only made bearable by the fact that I got to pilot "Mini Maraschino" (they all have fun names) while suffering, but it turns out I ended up zipping a second time today. I was so stressed about work, home and the impending move, I needed to do something soothing for myself--I adore driving so that's what I chose. I lucked out and nailed a brand new Volvo (make your soccer mom jokes, I don't give a shit). I was ecstatic as I sailed up Mass Ave...until I realized the XM wasn't installed yet.
:(
Aside from being able to sample unbearably cute and fun cars, my next favorite thing about ZipCar is the XM radio. No commercials AND music which could've been selected from MY library? Bliss. Alas, downshifting expertly had to be the only thing which put a smile on my face-- good thing I favor manual transmissions, it almost made me forget the injustice of no XM.
Since I surely would've had a "Velocity of Volvo" playlist, I instead choose to focus on what I CAN control and leave you with this: a set I never posted, from a previous Zippy adventure...and that thing I always say about whatever song coming on at a given time NOT being random at all...um, yeah.
