My Ride or Die
Today marks two months without my baby girl… Two months since I left my Jeep in the parking structure at GrandMarc thinking that I would be back soon to drive her. Little did I know that I would go so long without getting to see my precious Kali girl. I know what y’all are thinking…This girl is insane, she talks about her jeep as if it’s a person she loves and hasn’t seen in years. But I would just like everyone to know that this is the longest stretch of time I’ve gone without seeing my Jeep since I got her, four and a half years ago. It may seem weird to love an inanimate object as much I love my Jeep, but she has been there for some of the best times of my life and also for the bad times. She has consistently been a place I could go to clear my head, and just not worry about anything that’s going on in my life. Over the last four and a half years, God almost five years that I’ve had my Jeep we’ve gone a lot of places, seen a lot of things, and within her four doors made a lot of memories.
I can honestly say that the best present my parents ever gave me that wasn’t my lil sis or my puppy Koda, was my Jeep. I had to beg them to get her for me, anyone who knows me knows that once I get my mind stuck on something, it’s very hard to change my mind. And that’s exactly what happened with my Jeep. I had seen my next door neighbor, Tori get an adorable white Jeep for her first car and I just kind of fell in love with it. From that moment forward, there was no other option in cars for me; I was going to have a Jeep. I didn’t care if it was an old beat up Jeep, if it had two doors or four, or if I had to get a job and pay for it myself. I even told my mom that I would cry if she got me the little BMW, she was hoping that I would change my mind about. I know how much of a spoiled brat I sound like, and looking back it probably wasn’t the best way to handle the situation, but if I had any say in what kind of car I was gonna drive, it was going to be a Jeep. And on June 6th, 2012, my parents made me the happiest girl in the entire world, because sitting outside of Roy’s to celebrate me getting my permit was the most beautiful Jeep I had ever laid eyes on. Since that day she’s been my most favorite thing in the entire world, and I wouldn’t want to have any other car in the world.
So yes… I am obsessed with my Jeep, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love going on adventures in my too slow, a little too loud and slightly missed aligned Jeep because some of my best memories were made with friends getting lost in the desert or driving down PCH with all the windows down blaring music. I miss my Jeep more and more every day that I go without being able to drive her. I can’t wait to have her back home where she belongs and to take a very long much-needed drive; we have a lot of time to make up for.
