A car with style
Reader submission from Julia Link
Perhaps you've seen my polka-dotted car around town. It is the only one, to my knowledge. Saturday evening I left my apartment and was looking and looking for my car in the lot...funny I only saw this very plain and normal Toyota staring sadly back at me.
Shockingly, after roughly four years of polka-dotted bliss, someone stole all the polka dot magnets off my car; every last one. I was mad and heartbroken. However, my self expression can be cracked, but refuses to be broken! No one has ever driven to Party City with such a fury.
I purchased an arsenal of car window paint, a huge blue bow, strings of blue beads, a blue beach ball and balloons as attempted replacements for my beloved blue dots. My self-expression will not be stopped, and if the body of my car can't have exquisite hand-cut dot magnets (as they'll surely be taken off again if replaced), then my windows will have blue painted polka dots.
However, I thought I'd better snap some pictures before Mother Nature -- or the perps -- clean the newly painted dots from my naked, less-dotted car. I just thought I'd share this semi-tragedy and subsequent attempt at self expression-redemption with any dot-car (or polka dot) fans out there. Oh, and if you see any blue or white polka dots around town, call the (dot)cops or contact me.
