Continued from page 3 B behind the house, a misty rain stung my face. I looked down at the old mechanical gauges as the needles bounced inside the glass. Felt the rumble of the road through the steering wheel. And pushed her up to her max of 35 miles an hour, because anything faster was NOT recommended.

Then I let her go.

As they drove her up on the car hauler, and headed down the driveway, it was like I was losing an old friend.

People who own cars can never understand how you develop a relationship with an old truck or Jeep. Even though they’re just steel, rubber, and glass, they each have their own personality.

I will miss her taking up space in the garage, leaving telltale oil spots everywhere she parked.

But we made a few memories along the way.
