I lost my best friend... I lost my best friend last month. We met in December of 2000 and were nearly inseparable. We traveled many places together, even slept together. Oh, what a ride we had both day and night. When you were sick, I cared for you. Some amazing places we rode together and I remember twice when you helped me carry water heaters to my house. You also helped me drag trees to the front for garbage pickup. Who could forget all those trips to the Florida Keys... not me. I've lost count of the number of batteries, tires, wiper blades you needed. Two sets of brakes, clutch, light bulbs to keep you glowing at night. Unfortunately your thirst for oil was up to a quart a week and I feared it would only get worse. You were constantly stuffed with tools, parts for my jobs, computers and monitors and just about everything I could get into you would fit. Everyone knew we were together. All the security guards at the country clubs and projects I worked at recognized you two blocks away. You were amazing... simply amazing. I was beside myself wondering what to do and how much I would put into this relationship to keep you going, but after 13 years together I felt like it was time to move on. After I signed you over and took delivery of a brand new car I felt sadness knowing that your next owner won't have a clue to the years of dedication you have afforded me. Celica, you were the best car I ever owned! PS, I still have your spare key in my top drawer... |

I kept the original gear shifter knob from my 1984 Porsche.... thinking back, I should have kept that car.
