lotsa planning and a ton of patience


so i got a jetta about 3 years ago, -beaver paneled it 2 years ago-and when i got it, it was at 104,000 kms, at the time amazing is what i thought, not even alot of kms, and such a sick car, still square before the lame bubbly jettas, anywho, so as i racked up the kilometers and got to around 110,000kms i noticed what was going to happen. i had realized the epicness of this car that i was going to witness. i was going to get to see the kilometers reach 123,456-only a matter of time. but than looking even more into it i realized due to the resetable kms, i was going to be able to have the car reach 123,456 and than on the resetable kms 7890. my mind was blown just thinking about it. so i went home that night and figured out exactly what my main kms had to be at for when to reset the resetable kms, and i was only going to get one chance at this because if i mess it up, theres no going back, as we all learned in ferris beulers day off, even reversing does not move back the kilometers. so i had it all set, all ready, knew exactly when i had to reset it, now i just had to wait and remember, probly the two hardest things for me to do. but i managed, reset the resetable at the right time. now i had one more wait, for it to all fall into place. i remember i was driving to my brothers house just before going out to skate, and as i was coming up to his house, i was just over 3kms to my cars destiny. so instead of parking, going in and possibly forgeting about it and ruining it all, i decided to drive around the subdivision. as soon as it got close when i was within 1km i was driving so slow, hit the perfect kilometers, stopped the car, i was even fully on the side of the road, but i didnt care, stopped the car, threw it in park, and i actually just sat there for at the very least 5 minutes, just in such aw that i had finally reached this goal of mine that i had waited so long for. so much antisipation and the day had finally come, i took about 20 shots, i wish i had a polaroid thinking about it now, but this was a time when i was in a broke... ahhh who am i kidding, im always in a broke state unless i just got paid. but anyway, i didnt even wanna drive away, i knew i had to, but i let that moment last for as long as i could, i drove away with a giant smile on my face, it was my most favorite art project ever at that point, and is still one of my favorite photos i have.
laaaaaterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
