Goodbye, Old Friend!

Goodbye, Old Friend!

A bit over two years ago, we went a car dealership down the road from us refinance my car because the payments were too much for me, and, of course, they managed to sell us a NEW car with payments $35 a month MORE than what I had been paying.

'Zero', as I named it, after a WW2 Japanese fighter plane made by the company, however, has been a great car for us.

Or WAS.

This afternoon, on her way home from a doctor's appointment, my beloved wife made a Bonehead Maneuver, and collided with a pickup truck, totaling noble Zero.

She ended up in the Hyannis ER with painful, but fortunately not serious injuries and is sleeping peacefully upstairs as this is being written.

I almost lost her, and I probably WOULD , had not been for the safety features Mitsubishi built into the late Zero.

Now Zero sits, abandoned and neglected, somewhere on Cape Cod, wherever she was towed to, a victim of momentary stupidity on Bambi's part.

Perhaps I'm a fool for mourning the loss of a mere CAR when Bambi is still alive, but Zero gave her life for my wife, and I will NEVER forget that noble machine.

We'll find Zero and remove whatever of Bambi's belongings survived the crash sometime soon, then we're probably going to the dealership and at replacing her because my car, 'Betsy Blue', won't last forever, plus we NEED a second vehicle capable of making off-Cape trips.

Hopefully we'll luck out a second time.

Goodbye, Beloved Car! You WILL be missed, sorely!

Life goes on.

oh my....just reading this. Glad she is ok...wow ! I hope there are no lasting after effects. Yeah....just a momentary wrong move can do it. You are both Blessed.

As author says......lives arent replaceable. Im hoping a good replacement for Zero can be found. Good luck for it all~~
