bye bye Zeppo
Today my car went to it's new owner. I traded it for cash. Now I have a Prelude shaped hole in my heart. I miss him already. Not having a car sux! I feel totally lost and stranded and I had to walk to the post-office, and I have tossed out all my walking shoes so now I have blisters and WAH WAH WAH.
So to my car, the adorable Zeppo, I say thank-you. Thanks for never breaking down at an intersection. Thanks for not rolling down that embankment I skidded over when I spun out on loose wet gravel. Thanks for getting me from A to B to C and further in relative comfort and security. Thanks for starting every-time I turned the ignition (except for that 1 time at Uni... but I am over that). Thanks for the awesome growly noise you made when you hit 7000rpm and shifted gears. Most of all, thanks for not crapping out before I got the chance to sell you on.
I should also say sorry. I'm sorry for letting your oil run too low. I'm sorry for spending about 6 months only filling the tank when you hit empty. I'm sorry for driving you home the day I got you with the handbrake on. I'm sorry for immediately backing you into a tree when I first parked you. I'm sorry for every subsequent scrape and bump and dent that I gave you due to my utter inability to park. Finally, I'm sorry for not keeping you and taking you to Australia with me... but that was seriously unfeasible.
We had some great times together Zeppo. All those long straight runs on country roads. The thrill of whipping you around the twists and turns of the Port Hills and Southern Alps. The time we out-raced a motorbike at the lights... hehe, he was surprised! And all the day to day moments of zoom-zoom fun we had running around town with the sunroof open and the wind blowing and me singing along (very badly) to whatever latest tune I was thrashing to death on my iPod.
Bye Zeppo. Here's to your new owner loving you as much as I did.
A huge Hi !!! and *BIG WAVE* to the new people on my friends list. Sorry I have not gotten round to commenting and introducing myself properly yet. I'm moving country in 2 more sleeps and things are getting a little frantic due to my procrastination. I promise to get up to speed as soon as I get moved and have internet access. I am stoked to have you all on my flist and I look forward to getting to know y'all better very soon. Yay for Supernatural! The best way to meet very cool people :D
