My girlfriend's told me there are other people here who used to be cars. Is that true?

	Exactly. I find it hard to believe that there's no rhyme or reason behind this. What was happening in your lives when you were brought here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm from some time later than my boys, and things were... well, they weren't good. Not by a long shot. Longer shot than we're used to even. And as far as I can tell, as far as I've seen, they're from when things started to go wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Similar to what was happening with Hattie and myself. A seemingly impossible situation, with no clear or easy solutions. If that's how it's gone for other people here, we may be onto something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Could very well be. Hm. Guess we'll just have to ask around, see what's what. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2008-04-22 06:32 am UTC (link)
	Indeed. I think we will. If nothing else, it will give me something to do. I'm feeling at a bit of a loss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well if you're any good with a wrench or an airbrush you're welcome to come help out at the shop sometime. I'm the boss, I get to make that kind of decision. It's pretty awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laughs I can't say I've ever worked on a car before, Che. I wonder if I could translate my knowledge of being a car to repair work. But thank you for the offer. I'll keep it in mind, boss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's pretty much how I do it, actually. Go by sound, vibrations, whatever. I think having been sentient as a car helps too. Can tell the difference between a slipped belt and a stripped gear because I know what it's like to have one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess I won't know until I try. It's not like I don't know how everything works and where it goes. This could be a fit. It's such a relief to be able to talk to another car. Even if we're both humans, now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lady_metallicar 2008-04-22 06:49 am UTC (link)
	I know exactly what you mean. Sure, talking to people who know about cars is close, but it's ... really not the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2008-04-22 06:54 am UTC (link)
	Not really, no. It's difficult being so different from the people around you. I'm glad I'm not alone in that regard anymore. Che... is it possible to meet in person somewhere? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lady_metallicar 2008-04-22 06:56 am UTC (link)
	Sure. I'm in London, live with the boys, though I do have a place of my own, and there's always the shop. There's also a really good pizza place not too far from home. I pretty much walk everywhere, don't know how to drive, and riding is still a little weird. Did you have anywhere in particular in mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I could teach you how to drive at some point, if you like. I definitely know what you mean about riding in another car.

Pizza sounds good. Hattie and I are in London, too. We're not familiar with the area, so we'll follow your lead on that one. It will be nice to meet with you, Che. After talking like this, I'm looking forward to it. Is there a good time for you?

	See, the best part about being the boss is that I get to make the schedule. How's lunch sound? Tomorrow or the next day? The pizzeria is at [address] I can give you actual directions if you need them. (ooc: sleeps is good, I should have some of those too. Thread's set up, just tag whenever, I'll be around after work ^_^ ) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's 3 AM here, so I'm going to head out, but I'll be around tomorrow if you want to set something up. Thanks for the convo - he's starting to feel better about being here. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
