Celebration of life
You gave up your life to save mine. Though we hit the ditch, you stayed strong to protect me as we skidded across the freeway, finally landing after rolling over a few times. We’ve been through so much together. You’ve been with me since before I turned 16, traveling with me up and down California, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Wherever I went, you loyally followed. I’m proud of you. Know that I’ll miss you.
Rest in peace, ML. You’ll never be forgotten.

I know a lot of people have had the amazing opportunity to ride in my car. If you have any memories you’d like to share about my baby, please write it in the comments.
Posting might be a bit (more) sporadic over the next few days. Bear with me.

Oh my! I hope your ok! I’ll miss the poor girl. The times of watching the line in the windshield. Or people at the drive thru window asking just what the heck is that thing on your dash. The trips to Johns incredible Pizza and quick trips to the office and picking up the shanester. The Speedy exits from your drive way and the slow moving down a crowded Mooney. Truly RIP Classic ML.

SOOOOO SAD.
I remember the ML (not you) kindly driving me from BRU all 3 blocks away to my apt. And trips to Red Ginger.
And I’m sure there’s more but I forgot them all.
