My knight in shining armour

Every little girl has fairy tale fantasies of being rescued. We want to be locked in a tower or stuck in a terrible perdicament so that we can have a knight in shining armour come and save the day! We like to be helped, but not helpless. We like to fee safe and secure.

I have found my knight. Every day I spent a significant amount of time in harms way, but I do no fear. I dont worry about what will happen is somthing goes wrong, because I know I will be recsued. I just have to make a quick phone call and I am taken care of. Help on the way, confirmation at my fingertips.

I am talking about AAA of course. A first car in our society is suppose to be ghetto, and Hippo is pretty ghetto. The air conditioner squeaks, the heater squeals, the right speaker is fuzzy, the defroster doesn't defrost, the wipers don't do much wiping, the bumper hits the ground, the passenger window doesn't roll down, the drivers door doesn't have a handle, and the newest addition is that my super cool spoiler is only 1/3 attached. But I like my car. It still runs, well kinda, at least until a few days ago. But I am confident that he will run again, last time I just put a band aid on the hood, anointed i with oil and hoped back in.... its been running great!

I should be embarrassed of my car, but I am not. Because it is mine. I paid for it with money that I earned. I love my car and am proud of its almost 130,000 miles. I feel safe driving it because I know that AAA will come rescue me, anywhere, anytime. I love calling, saying I need towed home and then save gas by getting to ride in an air-conditioned cab! I love feeling taken care of, and rescued. So thanking you AAA my knight, perhaps all my car needs now is another band aid.
