When I was between husbands I had a car that lost its reverse gear, so I had to be very careful where I parked it: I had to be able to drive straight through or drift downhill. The lock fell out of the glove box, so I kept it in the ash tray. The speedometer cable broke, so I judged my speed by how fast other cars were going. The last day on my job I got my first ever speeding ticket. I was almost proud of it. I didn’t think the car would go that fast.
