Goodbye Old Friend

I just recently purchased a new car, since my car had 160,000 miles on it, it was long overdue. I'm not the kind of person that names my cars, but if I was, I would have named it 'True Blue'.




In 1999, I bought a used Toyota Corolla. It was a gem of a car - it never left me high and dry, even when I forgot to change the oil, and it was bone dry. It fit me like a glove. Everything was within arms reach, the trunk was large enough, it had cloth upholstery (my favorite kind), and it could fit 3 kids in back. I didn't take it to any exotic places - mainly work & back. It was the little workhorse that just kept plugging. I loved that car.

But, all good things must come to an end, (sniff, sniff), so I am excited about my new car, and looking forward to many happy times in it.

I feel your pain - that's how I feel about 'black beauty' my 2door sunfire that I've had for 10yrs...but now I must find a wagon/something bigger for a family - sniffle.
