Tinsley Old Starts & Drives the Monte in Shiny Flat Thong Sandals

We’re heading out and trying to find the keys for the Monte Carlo. She doesn’t believe me when I tell her she’s sitting on them but she finds them and we can go now. She slides the key in the ignition, spins the engine over and pumps the gas a few times then holds it for a moment, pumps again, then holds it…it doesn’t start.She pumps it a few times then spins the engine over again while still pumping it and it doesn’t fire again. On the third try, it fires up and she gives it a couple of revs and now we can go.

Tinsley isn’t hard driver, she’s more of a grandma and I had to work hard to get her to get out of that granny-phase. This is more of a cruise non-granny style but not a hard drive either. There is traffic in front of us and we’re on those old twisty, narrow roads we used to live by, so you’re at the mercy of traffic.
