Random Man in my dream: So, you have a new car now?
Me: Yeah. Well actually it’s my Dad’s. I mean, he bought it.
(At this point the man gave me a weird look, and I was nervous, thinking maybe I looked like a spoiled rich girl, that my dad would buy me a car.)
Man: So, what kind is it?
Me: Toyota Corolla.
Man: Oh. Well don’t be surprised if the steering wheel quits working.
Me: What? Oh no! What should I do if that happens? Slam on the brakes?
Man: You have to be careful not to slam them too hard.

A bit later I was driving my new (for me) gold Toyota Corolla. Ben and Jenny were along. I was going downhill, towards a brick school. What do you think happened?
My steering wheel quit working, of course.
Me: Guys, we’re gonna crash. Make sure you have your seat-belts on.
(I didn’t say it out loud, but I was hoping they were taking this opportunity to make things right with Jesus.)
Ben: Why are we crashing?
Me: The steering wheel quit working.
Ben: Hey! We can turn the car just by shifting our weight!
Me: Really?
(We all scooted to the left. The car turned the corner.)
…
See guys, when you all make Toyota recall jokes when you find out what kind of car I drive, this is the kind of dreams I have.
For the record, I am completely supportive of a Toyota purchase at this point. I’ll be you got a good deal on it.
