I was doing leg lifts at ATI today and as Brad was working on me, this song came on the radio. I told him this was the first song to play when I test drove my first car. It was my first “big girl” car that I had my name all alone on the lease. It was a silver Malibu and I think it may have been a 2006?
I leased that car from my Dad’s salesman who my Dad had been buying cars from the last 20 years. He had it all gassed up and ready for me to test drive. It was at Bill Wink Chevrolet (it’s not open anymore) and it was right by my parents’ house.
It had light grey interior and a sunroof. I think my mom had dropped me off at the dealership and I was driving the car back to her house to get Sean. Bob told me to keep it overnight. It was comfortable getting into the car and i situated my mirrors and the seat (it was all automatic), and I was so excited!!! I put the key in the ignition and started the car and this was the first song I heard:
“Unbelievable” EMF
I started the car at the exact moment where there was pause for a moment and then, “You’re Unbelievable!” It was that exact moment when I knew that this car had to be mine. It was destiny!
I think I signed all the papers the next day after work. After I had all the papers signed and it was mine, I got back into the car and started it. A James Blunt song was playing so even though my car was a girl (because the gas tank was on the passenger’s side), I named her “James.” I hadn’t thought about this car in a very long time and this song made me think of the day I test drove it and it made me smile!
