For anyone who knows me personally, you know about my many many woes with cars. The first car I drove got in multiple accidents, and the second car's check engine light turned on as I drove off the lot and died shortly after. I have now recently bought another and was getting some maintenance done on it, and my mechanic provided me with a loaner car while I was getting something fixed.

You know that strange sensation when you're in someone else's car and they have different radio station pre-sets and everything just feels foreign? I had that while driving this car, and it was here that I noticed 6 CDs in the CD slot. If I were a cat, I would have died ages ago because I am very curious. So naturally, I started flipping through the CDs.

The final album made me break into the largest grin. This is my favorite album of all time, one of the songs was on a video game I loved as a kid and has stuck with me ever since. My favorite album of all time is London Calling by The Clash. The opening of the title track is so recognizable. I had never come across this album in the wild before, and I was so excited I just had to share it. They even let me keep the CD! They had no idea there was anything in the car.
