Last week, I was on a hunt for stories about you and that one relationship the car got in the middle of. Friends, siblings, parents, relatives, girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, wives or personal chefs—all of those relationships were fair game.
Some of the tales ended with regret, others with relief.
And all of them show that we’re just car people, out looking for the cars and some meaning in this noisy world.
[Welcome back to Countersteer, where we ask you to tell us your greatest stories of success and failure, then we pull the very best of them to share with the rest of the world.]
