» Life in the fast lane

» Geriatric cars and brand-spankin’ new socks

Meet Lucy. She’s my 14-year-old Honda Civic - the only car I’ve ever owned - and she’s sick. But first, a little back-story. Back in July 1997, just before my 16th birthday, my dad and I took a road trip. My grandma was giving me her car - a 1993 red Honda Civic [...]
