Chevrolet Spark

And I think that's because the car itself is extremely base model, except for certain things.

Because the windows are extremely aggressively tinted, the rims are custom, and there is custom pinstriping painted on my 2021 Chevrolet Spark.

If the person who paid for that custom pinstriping was aware that a white lady was driving their car.

They would likely consider a middle-aged white lady, no less.

So he says, "You know what? I can give you this car.

It is a brand-new Chevy Spark." Now y'all know, Chevy Spark is kinda like a Prius.

It's a very small vehicle, but it was new.

It was a 2021, I believe, Chevy Spark.

It was the year 2020 when this happened, so I was gonna be driving in next year's car, right? And my car note was only, I think, $201.20.

I- I will never forget that.

In that very moment, though, I realized I allowed myself to go across the street and see what else was out there for me, and I was embraced.

And instead of the car salesman telling me all of the reasons why I didn't qualify, all of the reasons why I couldn't have what was rightfully mine, uh, he looked for all of the ways that we could make it possible.

It was like, all right, I'm driving it.

Or like a Chevy Spark or something.

I drove a Spark around

the entire country of Iceland.

But yeah.

So I don't know why someone driving a Chevy Sparks thought they'd be the one that were able to drive through the water.

Moron.

Uh, so also I want to say when they go to the ferry, they can't go through because the door is locked, but shouldn't the ferry just be outside? Like you don't have to go through a door.

All right.

So I have a 2022 Chevy Spark, although I'm not sure if that's relevant or not.

A couple months ago, my check engine light went on, although the car seemed to be driving okay.

I eventually brought it to my local mechanic to ask him to check it out.

Dude, you want to Mythbusters this? You want to go hit a deer going 300? Watch what happens.

I don't care if you're in my Chevy Spark.

There's no way.

You made deer jerky.

So I'm pretty sure like, I mean, yeah, she was probably just kind of tired of me you know, not having a good time without having a car.

So it ended up working out where she found me a Chevy spark and it's tiny.

And it was on the dealership.

It was only for like 95, like just under $10,000.

There's this little faint smell, and there's some burn marks in the cushions or whatever.

No more leather for me, but I'm not complaining.

I named the car Sparky because it's a Chevy Spark, and I thought, that's pretty original, isn't it? And also because I feel like when I go for my hikes...

um I just I feel like a spark of oh I have to go now so it seems like the right name to name my car and so interesting design features um there's no like Oh man, here we go, trying to explain things.

It was, like, not hot out yet, you know, it was only like 80 degrees out, and I was driving.

It was like s- maybe like 6:30 in the morning, I'm driving, and I'm going, uh, up the little hill or whatever, and then all of a sudden, for the first time of my Chevy Spark experience, I saw my overheat emblem just start flashing and beeping at me.

Oh, shit.

What's kind of shitty, dude, is that, uh, I don't have a gauge.

They had to ship it from Rialto, so I couldn't pick it up that day, so I ended up calling a buddy, carpooled to work the next day.

Uh, and then on the way back, we stopped at Barstow.

I picked up my part, and then spent the next couple hours, like, sitting there and putting everything in, which is a super pain in the ass 'cause a Chevy Spark's a very small car, so there's not much room in the engine bay at all.

Yeah.
