Ins and Outs the Final Dent

will I be recalled to Detroit by angry consumers for defective steering the headlights er highlights of my performance to date resemble nothing so much as a lapse in the routine of tire chasing dogs paused to scratch my brain is dented the wiring shorted and caught fire ear drums got a puncture and went flat endocrines are on empty the lungs sputter the hoses leak one headlight hangs out dangling and blinking on & off a beacon for victims of lost bearings and poor fog visibility the leading cause of that far away look I exercise my automobile heel the wheel into turns like it was fun and it got stronger healthier more vibrant 90 mph on two wheels doors open skidding through the ruts rain and shine and holidays it used to be a wreck you should see it now I finally got all the sleep I needed gonna last forever I hope you got the actual message
