I should have known better than to be using an old Peugeot to get around town but for running errands, parking around town and navigating small streets, its much easier. However now I am about to experience why these little cars have a bad name for reliability! Wearing high platform wood mule stripper heels I pump, crank and bounce in my seat in an attempt to get the car fired up.  Growing increasingly more desperate and frustrated, I pump the pedal harder, faster and firmer.. Surprisingly eventually the Peugeot starts up and seems to be running okay but with all the trouble I had getting it started, I want to be sure the car is okay and give the gas pedal some more abuse and rev its engine up! Okay maybe on top of making sure the engine is okay, it makes me feel a little better too.. a little payback!
