My precious ...

just have to burn another 100 buckaroo on my car today, sigh, its been throwing loads of tantrums of late this year; something which I had feared last year when I was trying to dispose it..

but strangely, the more I get irritated with its whims and fancies, the more I miss it and the more I know how strangely bonded I am to this car. Maybe after all, this car has been with me since the begining; and when I say beginning it means the moment I knew I shall be heading into white-collar slavery soon. Can still vividly remember it was way back in 1997; at the dawn of the economic crisis when Citroen launched it here in Malaysia. I was immediately hooked. Soon it became my pledge and commitment; to get this car by hook or by crook.. crazy ha.

Well, as crazy as it sounds, it did became a motivation and a carrot for me. Not to mention the numerous cool WRC victories and throphies that it has picked up along the years...

It was quite unbelievable that I could actually force myself to SAVE little by little for this car. Years pass, I graduated, got my first job, got my first car (yes... kereta nasional la, what else), got my second job and finally on January 4th 2003, I made the decision to reward myself with this long-time dream of mine. =) of course, there were loads of unfounded excuses I made to convince the inner me that I really wanted and NEEDED this car.

So here am I, 3 years later, having a very fond memories of my precious Xsara. It has taken me places, countless holidays and occasions, jobs and of course summons; not to mention a few 1st-time as well. *GRIN*.

It has been sweet and I shall take care of it for as long as possible. Promise. =)
