Honda civic   ( car challenge )

My first car was a fire red hatch back
two doors
I loved that car
first thing I bought when I turned 16
used drug money for it
but whatever worked at the time
worked

some old lady owned it before me
can tell she smoked a lot
the cigarette holes where everywhere
even the roof had a mark

that baby had many miles on it
kinda like me
it smelt of my freedom
kinda like I dreamed it would feel

I never registered that car.
sat in my grandmothers driveway
for about a year
I'd clean it once a week
turn it on so it stayed alive

then some kid asked me
hey how much for it?
guess he assumed It was for sale cause I never drove it
I said nothing
just threw him the keys and said enjoy
it's got some miles on it and holes
but it's perfect for a ride
