Were you all aware that I look absolutely adorable driving a sports car?

I’m not tooting my own (car) horn or anything (get it?), but I think it’s true. It might have something to do with the tinted windows and the fact you can’t tell who is actually driving, but I digress.

For the last week, I’ve been driving around my dad’s 2017 electric blue Mustang GT California Special.

I know what you’re thinking, “EWW mustangs are gross!” Under normal circumstances, I totally agree, but you haven’t seen me behind the wheel of one! I fit like a glove! Also, my dad has this terribly obnoxious kit on the car that makes it sound like you’re driving a jet down the road, it’s so fetch. I just felt alive! Like, I can go so fast and it is so loud and everyone turns to look at me and is like umm how did an idiot like you afford this car and I just smile with all of my teeth and give them a big thumbs up.

But like it’s an actual boat and ya girl had some slight difficulty in the parking department.
