Goooood morning, good morning, folks. Anyone in the market for a car? I’m finally getting ready to replace mine. And let me tell you, you won’t want to pass this up. This car:
- is beige
- has a broken antenna
- but has a radio that mostly still works
- has a broken tape deck
- but has functioning a/c
- sports an array of scratches on the outside
- but is pretty roomy on the inside
Plus, having come on the scene back in ‘96, it is basically vintage. Don’t everyone jump in with their offers at once.
ANYWAY, yes, this is your Freedom Kicks, not my love letter to my car. We’ll revisit the love letter when I actually have a new car. In the meantime, we’ll talk about the soccer.
