*sigh*
So when I get home from work today my car will not be in the driveway. I’ve donated it to Kars4kids.org on their website they say you don’t need to give them a title which is good cuz I still haven’t replaced the one I lost.
I’m glad to finally get rid of it, but at the same time I’m sad. I’ve had that car for about 12 years. It has served me well. It never broke down on the side of the road abandoning me somewhere scary. It always made it “just a nother couple of blocks PLEASE” to get me to my destination. When the battery went out, that was directly in front of my apartment building so I could use the battery charger to get it going again so I could get a new battery. After 12 years and 149,000+ miles it’s only on its second battery.
That’s the car that took me to Cincinatti, Joplin MO, and Waupaca WI. It got me to and from work each day for a few years. It was the first car in my name….and so far the ONLY car in my name. I’m losing the “pogue mahone” bumpersticker and the Starfleet Academy window sticker…the other window cling things too are going away with the car cuz they’re so old they’ll leave pieces of them behind if I try to take them off.
It is the end of an era…Pattie and the Dodge Spirit are no more… long live the Dodge Spirit!!
