Officially Ghetto

Today one of our cars officially became ghetto. Yes, those are rubber bands keeping our side mirror attached to the car. Last weekend, the strangest thing happened. I had the car parked on a level surface and five minutes later I'm looking out the window and my car is rolling down the driveway. The first thing you might ask is "Was the car in park?" That's where the strange part comes in. "Yes! Even the parking break was still on!" Luckily, the mirror bent backwards by hitting one of the concrete posts on the side of the driveway and prevented the car from rolling further. Not good news for the mirror, though. The sad part is that this new wreck addition doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. The rusty paint, the scratches and the "maintenance required" light (that is always blinking) all work together making our car officially ghetto.

When we were first dating, Addam's car (which was in park) rolled down a hill next to my apt. on UT campus. Luckily, nothing bad happened as a result.

Your car isn't ghetto! It just has character.
