mah-car-ena


LA LLORONA - JUNE 15, 2008, BELLFONTAINE, OH.

her transmission just wont hold up. my car's final resting place will be athens, ohio. at first, i wasn't comfortable with that, but after thinking about what a fulfilled and exciting life she's had as a vehicle, i feel like it might be okay. when i picked her up in 2004 for 8g's, she only had a shitty sound system and cigarette burns on the roof --- evidence that she's always been taken for granted a little. after four years of me, most of her exterior is being held up with a complicated duct tape and string system. right turns mean listening to liquid roll across underneath her hood [it sounded like automotive tears and is how she earned her name "la llorona" -- the crying girl]. hills are a no-go. none of the passenger side doors work.

i know its just a thing, but i will miss my car.
from miami to michigan, yo. i can't help but feel sentimental about my ride. i need to get rid of her and i know that no price can truly match up to how i will feel without my carrito and being that she is in bad of a state as she is, i will be lucky if i get $1000.

Don't feel bad. I got less than $500 for mine. Just think, you can switch to something with better mileage. And then miss her.
