Elskan hann Dóri
minn sterki og stóri
hann styrir svo vel(The lovely Dóri
my big and strong one
he drives so well)–Björk, “Bílavísur” (”Car song”)
Hey, I have a new car!
"Ég hallast að Dóra" ("I lean against Dóri")
He’s a real beaut, huh? Named after a handsome guy in a jazzy Icelandic song. Dóri is dashing and irresistible, but he drives a clunker of an American car and just gets it stuck in the mud. I think it is a lucky name.
"Ertu að koma?" ("Are you coming?")
Dóri the Honda will facilitate hiking excursions with one dog and lazy nights at the drive-in theater with the other…
Hell on wheels
…and will, after five years of automotive abstinence, enable a lifestyle of unbridled hedonism.
Though really it takes more time and hassle to drive him to work, so the trusty bicycle will continue to be my lean mean commuting machine.
