"That's my car? Holy fuck, YEAH!"

As a result of the loss of my car, for any out-of-town training sessions I am permitted to rent a vehicle which my employer will reimburse me for. So Thursday was training scheduled for Amherst. So I called and asked for a car and the corporate discount. Great, says they, we have one for you and we have your discount. Perfect, says I, can you come get me? Yes, says they, we'll be right there. So I show up at the place and they hand me the keys to one of these:





A 2006 Jeep Liberty, the same as in the picture. It was brand new, it had around 1200km on it total. I nearly orgasmed when I got in it. I was expecting a little car, maybe even a nicer sedan, but when I saw this I thought to myself, "Oh yeah, this is gonna be a fun trip."

And it was. We had been forecast a blizzard that didn't hit the mainland, so the most snow I saw was a few flurries and what hadn't melted on the road from the night before. It was a nice trip set on cruise and I cranked the tune-age way up. The stereo was great (not as good as the one in the car, but it's a factory deck and speakers) so I sang my way back and forth to Amherst.

The great thing was, I was home by 4:30 and I had the car until 10am the next day! WHEEEEE! So off I went, I took two friends shopping and enjoyed the fact that it was freezing outside and I didn't have to bus it.

My adventurous side kicked in. I found a pair of tightass jeans that were size 32 and I liked the style. So I tried them on and they fit. They were super snug, but I actually fit in them. So with a grin splitting my face, I bought them for later that evening.

The plan was dinner with the boi, a movie and then Reflections for Lulu. So I went home, got showered and dressed myself up. Since I was in an adventurous mood, I decided that underwear would be uncomfortable in such tight jeans, so I went commando. It was fun to go all over town and then out to the bar, I haven't done commando in a long, long time. I did find the breeze a bit chilly on the bum, the wind chill was -15 or lower last night. But it just spiced up the evening a bit more.

All in all, a wonderful Jeepy Commando day.

I was sad to return it this morning, but all good things must come to an end. I thought about that as I stood on lower water St. freezing while the bus took it's merry old time coming to pick me up after work. C'est la vie! I have another out-of-towner next Thursday, so I may just rinse and repeat! :)
