Goodbye Friend

Two weeks ago I had to part ways with a very near and dear friend....my first car :( We've been together since I was 16 years old. She was very loving and reliable in her long and fruitful life. Like a dog she was man's best friend, always with me through thick and thin. She got me through high school, was with me on my first date, drove me off to college, took me on many awesome road trips, went with me to job interviews, helped me move countless times, sheltered me on camping trips, and she never gave me a lick of trouble. She was a fantastic car and I hope she will enjoy her new home with the Air Conditioning Repair Man :(

With that said, I have the pleasure of saying hello to a new friend. As you can tell they look very similar, as if they were somehow related. I guess I couldn't completely let go of what I had before. Kinda like dating someone that's your "type". I figure if it worked once, it'll work again. Toyota's are extremely reliable and they've got great resale value. I don't think you can go wrong. I guess the fact that I gained power steering, automatic windows, automatic locks, automatic transmission, air conditioning, 4 doors, and a tow package, will make it fairly easy to get over my lost love. I'll miss her, but her replacement is a heck of a lot sexier. What do you think?
