You know your car inside and out: what it sounds like when started,
that odd squeak the brakes make when wet, that rattle in the dash you
can't quite seem to get rid of. And, of course, the quirk you always
need to explain when someone else borrows the car: "If you're going to
roll down the window, do this first," or "You need to pump the gas
pedal three times before starting the engine," or "Yeah, it's normal
for the engine to keep running for a minute or so after you take out
the key."

We at Strata Magazine want to know about your personal car quirk. Who
are you? Where do you live? What is the make, model, and year of your
car? And last but not least, explain the thing that makes your car
unique.

Your story has a chance of being profiled in the "Wheels" section of
our website, a section typically devoted to man's other best friend,
the automobile. Curious to learn more? Have a look at an older story
http://www.fifth-letter.com/strata/i...any/wheels.htm and
then nose around the rest of the site while you're at it.
