Why Toyota Corollas are lucky for me....

Friends,  the story I  am about to tell you tonight is sweet and creepy all at the same time. Sweet, because it involves my dream girl, and creepy because my dream girl thinks that a lot of the things I do are just plain creepy. But, that is her and forever shall she remain herself.  And, that is why we continue to  love her ( no matter what I say on these pages ); because she is who she is.

.

 .....anyway, back in 1983 when  I was on top of the world so to speak, on top because  I had the great fortune to cross paths with this wonderful female that I am always talking about. And, part of the scenario was the fact that I was driving a 1982 Toyota Corolla  Hardtop SR5. Now, rest assured dear friends that this car was the most important thing in my life, until I came across this girl that is. I remember trading in my 1978 White Toyota Corolla Liftback for this new vehicle of mine.  I bargained very earnestly in those days let me assure you. I loved to bargain and hassle over purchasing new vehicles. In fact, when I finally got delivery of my new vehicle the salesman said: " you got a really good deal ".  Well, that may be so. Who is to say for sure right?  Anyhow, I got my dream car and I did some serious bargaining to get it.  After the paperwork was signed I remember that I had to wait a couple of weeks for delivery. I just couldn't wait, the excitement was too much. I recall driving into Richmond where I purchased the vehicle and just sitting by the railroad tracks watching the trains roll by to see if my new car was on its way to the dealership.  Anyhow friends, that is just the way I am when I really want something; I just can't wait; the anticipation is just so great for me....

Shown below is what a Toyota Corolla Hardtop in 1982 looked like. Mine was silver and it was a 5 speed. I had to have a standard of course because automatics were for sissys...

So, why is all this stuff important?  Because when I met my dream girl this was my car. The Toyota Corolla was the reason why I met my dream girl. Toyota Corollas are lucky in love that is all. Not only that, I remember driving my dream girl home in this car of mine and that is when I fell in love with her. Sweet....or creepy?  Well, you decide.

.

Anyhow, let us move up to the present and not waste too much time because I am sure you guys are now fairly interested in what I have to say and just what does all of this stuff mean?...

  It means that I am driving once again, a Toyota Corolla, a brand new and up to date model of course.  And, you can rest assured that I did my best bargaining that I could with these sellers of Toyota Corollas...

So, let's cut to the chase here and relay the importance of all this car stuff. It involves my dream girl as you might expect. A chance meeting or exchange was about to occur....and that interaction could only take place if certain things were to make it happen. Like the alignment of the stars, things on earth had to be in perfect order as well. Part of the coordination would involve my car of course..  But, there is more than just the car here friends. A lot of things had to come together before the love gods would even think of becoming involved in the wonderful event that was to unfold. That's right, they saw the similarities between 1983 and the present, well, the present being December, 2010. I was back at the old house and I was starting to drink beer again, just like in 1983, and maybe even puffing on a cigarette or two to boot. In other words friends, all conditions were in place for the best Christmas that I would have in a long time. I did my part and the love gods did the rest. Confused?  Well, don't be. Out of the blue it came and a fluke if there ever was one. But, that is the method of luck and destiny friends and you can count on that. My dream girl and myself crossed paths if only for a fleeting moment. Such a treasure. But, this time the internet was involved, and it was very special indeed friends. But, I am convinced now friends that conditions were ripe for it to happen - and destiny could not fail to do its part.  And, the purchase of the Toyota Corolla I feel played no small part; it is of course a key ingredient here.   The only thing missing was luck, and she appeared just before Christmas - and I am forever glad that she did. So, you see friends, Toyota Corollas are the best friends that a guy could ever have.
