Phoenix

April 2, 2006 at 8:56 pm · Filed under Life, News

Thanks to everyone’s messages. It makes me happy to think of all of the people that have driven with me on various adventures. I’m glad that when people see a silver ML, it reminds them of me. My cuts are healing nicely and the soreness on my left side is pretty much gone.

“Nothing will make a driver more loyal to its car than a car more loyal to its driver.”

I totally believe that. Despite my thinking that I would get a different car this time, for some reason, I kept coming back to the ML. In the end, it wasn’t as difficult a decision as I imagined.

I’ve temporarily nicknamed her “Phoenix.” Why Phoenix? Because I’m super-cheesy.

A mythical bird that periodically burned itself to death and emerged from the ashes as a new phoenix. According to most stories, the rebirth of the phoenix happened every five hundred years. Only one phoenix lived at a time.

The rebirth of my phoenix took a little under 9 years. The car was delivered this past Wednesday from Caliber Motors in Anaheim (Hills). Had to go with Iridium Silver. The only thing that I changed was the interior color (ash to charcoal). Haven’t been able to get shots of the exterior yet.. I’ll probably get to that on a sunny day (tomorrow). Until then, some gloomy interior shots.

    Hi. I was looking for ’silent’ and ‘quiet’ graphics and was directed to your page. You looked really familiar and I wondered whether you were from Rhodie. Lo and behold, someone was wearing a Brown tee, Ratty references and the mention of Rhode Island.

    So, hi. And I hope you’re healing well. Blessings from HK.
