It would ask me why it was rained on in the middle of August today with an air of perplexity to its tone, tell me it is exhausted and apologize for not being able to reach a speed faster than 65 mph across all of Maryland, ask me why in its 8 years of life had I never prepared it for a nearly 4000 mile, 6-day jaunt-"SD to EG and back again is nothing after that," it'd say and then finally it'd ask me when the heck I am going to empty it of my possessions and where, when and for how long. I just tucked it into a parallel parking spot on Columbia Rd. in our nation's fine capitol and before I said goodnight I thanked it for getting us here safely and comfortably, "We'll be in our new home on Thursday night, you may rust a tad bit more but I assure you it will be from snow and not saltwater, sorry; it may be our last home together as I don't know where the next 9 months will lead me, I know I've treated you badly sometimes but hopefully that stage of life is over. Most of all thanks for the last 90,000 miles little coche!"
