I wanted to cry as I peeled my hands away from the steering wheel. I opened the trash bag and plunged a black bandana into the depths of its cool white plastic. I grabbed the fairy, my guardian angel, from the dashboard and let it fall with a thud to the bottom of the bag. I disrobed the brown leather seats of Tinker Bell covers and let them slide down the plastic. Saying goodbye to my Oldsmobile Bravada, I handed the small black and silver key to my sister.
I searched adamantly for days, consorting with men who knew “exactly” what I wanted until last Friday when I found a silver gem in the onslaught of used cars. Only six years old, the shiny paint spoke to me. The engine purred as I lead it out of the drive. The seats warmed up to me as the stop lights went by and I fell in love with its smooth embrace. The 2005 Jeep Liberty had found a place in my heart.
Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!

I hope the Fairy likes her new home, mine did. Nice looking ride, you can cram a lot of Tinker Bells in that one. :)

Congrats ... She's a beauty! All the best!
Congrats on the new car! I remember being really sad when I got rid of my Chevy Corsica (car before the one I recently got rid of), but it's exciting to get a new car. :)
SO SHINY!
