Bloody right tire of the model I ordered has jammed and the rear-view mirror came broken in the package, but what the hell. But on a happier note, the colour had to be, of course … lemon!
“You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won’t have to drive too far
Just ‘cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living” – Tracy Chapman

She’ll drive a beetle car
And beat you down at cool Canasta”

“And we’re always slipping through the the cracks

Life is a lemon and I want my money back!”

“I told a girl I can start right away
And she said listen babe I got something to say
I got no car and it’s breaking my heart
But I’ve found a driver and that’s a start
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I’m gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And baby I love you
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah”
– Drive My Car (Lennon/McCartney)
