Writer's Block: Baby, you can drive my car

Already have my "dream car." Voodoo runs well and keeps me out of trouble. Though, I've always wanted a Messerschmitt...

As for a new car? No. If I had cash, Jeeves would be getting fixed and repainted. Maybe reupholstered. Why should I spend money on something new? Sure, they might be fuel-efficient, but think of all the iron and nickel and lead that had to be mined to make that new car. How much oil did that take? How much coal? And would a new machine ever live long enough to entirely neutralize its sizable creation footprint?
I'll keep my old jalopies, thanks.
