Moi Corolla

Yesterday I was late to school. Being late is not only an offense but a curse since the parking lot gets FULL and one finds oneself cruising every single street, nook and corner for parking space. Thankfully for me, yesterday, I had taken my teeny tiny corolla to school, which I cooly parked in miniature of a space next to 7/11, a few furlongs away, from the building where my classes are held. What would have I done if I had taken our SUV which is the size of an elephant? Of course I love our SUV just for the pleasure of driving it and in fact at times get annoyed that my husband claims his right on it! But yesterday I was just happy that I was in my Corolla, something,  I all the time, think of trading for a Nissan 350Z. Not that Nissan 350Z is any bigger than Corolla but it is a muscle car and its super fancy. But the hazards of parking a fancy car in a 24 minute parking space for two hours right opposite to 7/11 is that it becomes an easy target for tickets. You see cops love to circle streets close to schools and when they see a shiny car in a 24 minute parking space they wait till the 24 minute phase passes and then walk like Patrick Swazye towards the car and stick a $50 ticket in between the wipers of the car. 

With Corolla there are no such risks. I can park it where ever I want and be just fine. Yesterday too was a similar experience. My corolla  had over stayed the parking time but fortunately managed to not earn tickets. The feeling was of not getting ticket makes me fall all over in love with Corolla and appreciate its simple but worthy appearance. It might be a rugged ten year old Corolla and not a Nissan 350Z or BMW but it helps me be ticket-free in life which is more than what fancy cars could do for me. Someday even if I do buy a fancy car I will still own my good old Corolla; if not for anything else then for old times sake. Love you moi corolla!
