My almost perfect valentine evening !!!

It was just me and her, out on the roads, hand in hand. The soft, gentle snow made it a perfect setting for the evening. Though she always responded faithfully to all my moves, tonight was different and I was having fun learning to tame her when she got wild and slippery. I didn't own her, rather tonight was the last time she was with me and I had bought protection so I wasn't too concerned about any damage that could result out of this adventure.


For half an hour, off we went from one lane to another in downtown Rochester, testing the curves and turning at speeds enough to make her skid on the thin layer of snow and then trying to control her before one of us got hurt. For once she did bang against a curb that was more a snow heap than anything concrete. No damage done. Never before I'd been so excited about a (mini)crash. The max I could get her to swing was about 60-70 degrees. "Jaisa filmo mein hota hai. Nahi ho raha tha hu bahoo". I'd hoped for at least a 90 but realized how tough that was when trying to intentionally do it, forget about the 180 degree skids that we see in movies.


Me and my Hyundai Accent and (ofcourse) meri tanhai had quite an adventure for the valentine's celebration.
