Driving in the dark with Purple Car
AS I have gotten older driving after dark has gotten less enjoyable. I will drive after dark but I prefer driving during the daylight hours. German Purple Car has funky headlights and I feel like I cant see more than about a cars length in front of the car and at Autobahn speeds I feel like I am constantly out driving the light. And they don't have very many lights along the road ways here so it is very dark. Seems to me that it is much darker here than in Oklahoma.
Early this morning after taking Alan to the airport I headed back home via a 7.6 KM detour. I took a wrong turn and ended up on the Autobahn headed away from home; in the dark and driving high speeds (or get run over). Had it been daylight I might have been able to navigate correctly but in the hours before sunrise I just made wrong turns! Had it been daylight I might have seen some interesting country side, but it was way too dark for that.
Purple Car and Navi (our GPS) got me home despite the darkness. And once back in my town I drove past a car wash that I did not know was there and it is very close to home (Purple Car really needs a bath so maybe this was a Car/GPS conspiracy just to route me past the car wash). So after the sun rises and a short nap I think I will reward Purple car with "The Works".
If all goes as planned I will add a picture of Purple Car, she will be so thrilled for everyone to see her!
This is not Purple Car, I still don't have a good picture of her. (not sure she will sit for a good picture so I thought I WOULD POST A REALLY COOL BMW).....
