Ode to Mitsukuni

...Who is my 2000 Toyota Camry, named after Mitsukuni "Hunny" Haninozuka from Ouran High School Host Club.

I got the inexplicable urge to clean my car (which hits me every few months), so I went out with a bottle of Windex, paper towels, and disinfectant wipes to give it an inside cleaning. I also had my Zune, which I plugged into the tape adapter and had going with all the doors open. That was great.

I've had Mitsu for a year now, and done my best taking care of it. Oh, there was that time I backed up into some garbage cans while dropping Sarah off, which chipped my bumper and right tailight, but they're fine and the light still works. There was the time I fishtailed and ended up in a snow mound, but nothing happened except some ice getting in the chassy.

We traveled the 180-ish days to and from school, ventured the many weekends to work, taken an immeasurable amount of trips to stores and friends' houses, and made the hike to Rosemont for ACen. Come the end of October, it's time for our first official roadtrip as we head to Michigan for Youmacon.

Take care of your car and it'll take care of you. Never truer words have been said.
