The black knight has lost...

My car. This old -- well not that old-- tank from '98 has finally bitten the dust. 

It's an emotional time, remembering how amazing my tank of a car was. How she could go fast and not spin out, what a great car. She was sleek and black, a small sporty car that fit my lifestyle and wasn't too terrible on gas. 

It was a perfect car. Reliable -- but only if the weather was good -- and was compact enough that it was actually a conversation starter when the cops pulled me over once. Good times with that. 

But she didn't come to me as a brand new car, my aunt had her before me and I cannot say that she is the, most cautious, of drivers. So she was in pretty poor shape when I acquired her, but I took care of her and have tried to be gentle with my driving. But she just couldn't take it any longer. Hopefully changing the battery tonight will put some new life into her. 

Hopefully...
