I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn't really about loving cars. It's sort of about needing them.

I maintain my inner beauty by trying to lead a balanced life in general. I try to eat healthy foods but... that doesn't mean I won't treat myself now and then!

So that part is amazing.
