The Red Tin: Farewell Chevy Truck, you'll be missed
Sort of as a joke, I started writing a farewell letter to my old Chevy truck that will soon be leaving me. My brother comes next week to take her down to California. It got me thinking of all the places and experiences with that old (okay, it's only a '94) truck. I thought I would share it here on my blog since I am into mail and letters too. And I would love to hear about your old cars and if it was difficult to give them up. I think most of us have fond memories of certain cars in our lives. Oh, precious Chevy truck, you’ve been good to me. It will be sad to see you go. You’ll go on to your new California home and soak in the sun instead of collecting mold and mildew here in the Northwest. You’ll have new adventures without me. You’ll have a view of the ocean every day. I hope you will sometimes think of me and the miles and places, the breakdowns, oil changes, blizzards, chipped windshields, car washes, near misses, and tunes that have blared out of your AM/FM stock radio. You and your clean, white body, your classic red, woolly seat cover interior, tiny pieces of glass along the floor boards from a previous accident that somehow could never be completely vacuumed out, your parking permit from an old jobsite you once worked ever present on the rearview, and those big, lovable side mirrors. All the comforts and your special, unique features only I could appreciate. When your starter began to go, I knew how to lovingly tap it to get us to our next destination until I could afford a new one. Remember the road trip to Niagra Falls in Canada, and on to Erie, PA, and down to Louisville, KY for the opening day of races? We parked in someone’s front lawn for five bucks. And touring around Amish country with Bridget and meeting Punxsutawney Phil? Many trips through Ohio and Pennsylvania. Trips to Pittsburgh and figuring out those city streets. And, alas, we left your native home to come west. we pulled onto Martin Drive in Milwaukee to meet Jodi. And you must have looked so fine there on the street that no one dare steal from the bed or toolbox. You watched over my things with your easy way, your understated “nothing worth much” here look. As with people, the best ones are often understated. You have no need for flash, you’re comfortable, reliable, and people can light up or spill coffee and you’d never mind. You’d say it’s okay and let the old seat cover act as camouflage.
