ISO co-pilot

it seems to hit me just about every time i get into my car. always on longer drives.

i have no co-pilot. i think this may be a Michigan syndrome. i have always liked road trips. long or just for the day. and having a co-pilot is key on such endeavors. ive had my current car for a little more than a year, and it is yet to have a co-pilot. there have been a couple passengers.

its that girl, that comes to be as much of a fixture in your car as the radio and mirrors. you can get by without them, but life is much better with. there are a couple people i could nominate, but none of them live anywhere near me, and it would be a rather long road trip just to get to them.

i have to admit, its a relatively small nuisance, the problem is it is becoming ever more persistent.

i look back on trips to the beach, camping, the cottage, Toronto and half of what i remember is the ride there. having the right person riding shotgun not only makes the trip better, it takes it from an obligation to an enjoyable activity.

so i am taking applications. requirements include, but are not limited to: female, ability to read maps, good taste in music, enjoys road trips, enjoys the outdoors(beaches, camping, hiking, bikes), informed, good conversationalist, foody. special consideration given to those who are cute, can drive a stick, can talk baseball as well as politics, and are generally awesome.
