What Our Cars Say About Us

Very often you hear or see articles that show how a person's dog reflects his master.  I think the very same thing is true with a person's car.  This includes the accessories we choose to embelish our cars.  When I was in high school and lived by the beach in San Diego, I had a bright orange VW Bug.  That car, packed with my bathing suit, board, and a lot of sand and Jack In The Box wrappers on the car floor mats, told a lot about me.  I had various bumper stickers such as "They say I'm crazy but I have a good time." that further gave clues to the stage of my life.  Married and with seven children with a lot of friends and you guessed it... I had a 15 passenger van!  We were the Kool Aid house and needed lots of room if I was to go anywhere.  Accessories there included garbage bags, snacks, toys, and extra diapers.  And now, at 51 and still very much with a large family, however, most on their own, I drive a Chevy Trailblazer.  It's comfortable, easy to put groceries in, and living in Utah, I love the four wheel drive.  My accessory?  I have on my antenna a small Jack head from Jack In The Box.  This reflects a time in my life where I remember great fun with friends and a reminder to keep on making great memories.

As a teen in growing up in California, Jack In The Box was a way of life.  After the football game?  Let's go to Jack In The Box!  Skipping school to go to the beach?  Let's drive through Jack In The Box on the way!  Late at night after a dance and who is open all night long?  Jack In The Box!

You might like to know that there is no Jack In The Box in Utah but whenever I am near one, or one of my friends or family is near one, I acquire a new Jack.   Mostly because Jack disappears time and time again.  I don't mind.  I'm guessing there are a lot of people with fond memories of Jack In The Box.
