Is This My Car?

For many individuals, having a car is a luxury. It can transport you from one place to another without the restrictions of waiting for public transportation. The only difficulties about having a car are the monthly payments, the gas prices, and the multiple cars on the road that look exactly like yours. For instance, Marie went to the grocery store to purchase some items for the coming week. At first, when she got to the store, she had a hard time finding a parking space because of all the cars. Luckily, she was able to find one not that far away from the store. Once she parked, she got out of the car and familiarized herself with were her car was located. Then she locked her car and went into the store. After about an hour, Marie walked out into the parking lot with her grocery basket. When she got to her car, she placed the items inside and then entered on the driver’s side.  As she turned the key in the ignition, the car would not start. Worried that she would have to get her car serviced again, she tried one more time, but then suddenly stopped. She looked at the passenger side and the seats in the back and thought to herself, “I don’t have leather seats.” Then she looked at the rest of the interior and realized that she was in the wrong car.  Immediately, she got out of the car, grabbed her items, and ran to her car. It was parked right behind the one she was at. Now, every time Marie goes to the store she double checks to see if she is opening her own car and not someone else’s.
