   I don't often talk about this but I have the "feel a stronger emotional connection to objects than people" type of autism.
   
   This is genuinely upsetting really upsetting to me and it feels like a close family member that is passing away. I have not been able to focus on work at all today, I don't know if there's a name for this phenomenon, but I really am the kind of person who is emotionally dependent on their fucking Mazda Miata.
   
   This car was here when my first relationship started and it was still there by the time my second serious relationship ended. It was there when I started my first internship and it there when I graduated from university, when I started my first job and it was still there when I quit that job.
   
   I've driven this car on every trip, even to the UK and to Switzerland. It has done laps around Zandvoort, TT Assen, the Nurburgring and many other circuits in Europe and it has been to a countless number of car meets.
   
   Throughout my entire 20s this car was always there for me. When I bought this car it was literally the cheapest running and driving MX5 I could find in my country. It came with a very shady registration papers and literally no known service history whatsoever.
   
   But it was a diamond in the rough, I fixed up some bad jobs done by previous owner(s) and it became the greatest car I could ever ask for.
   
   Up until now this car has also never ever let me down or left me stranded. It has never once had any downtime outside of scheduled maintenance, all while happily revving to redline whenever I wanted to. After all these years I still can't properly put into words how much I enjoy driving this little idiot shitbox every single day.
