It's amazing how we become attached to our cars, to the memories they hold. You did a great job of conjuring up this feeling! I recently traded my 12 yr old 100K miler and was surprised at how sad I felt leaving it behind as I drove away in the new car.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718413679501640525noreply@blogger.com
