I still see you…
Like the first Day
Beautiful like always
With those headlights
Shining like stars at night
That Engine Roaring!!
Like A Living Tiger!!
But I miss you…
You were all I wished for
All those fun moments
All those memories
I will carry in my heart
My mind
My soul
You were part of everything
Bringing so much joy
Bringing that big smile
Thank you…
This joy
Was only with you
I still see you
Like the first day.
This poem or writing is over about my car. I have loved my car the most I can, cleaned it, cared for it and fixed it, but sadly my car has decided that it is better to part ways, well we are heading there. It’s understandable.. She is from the 99 years and she has come a long way passing through all those years and now it's 2025.
I rebuilt her from scratch. I remember the day I saw her sitting down with no engine, no tires, no transmission and a rough interior. Just a simple car chassis with a few bumps and scratches all over it but I could see the vision. She didn’t look as much and didn’t cost as much as when it first came out, But those $500 bucks were what started all those fun adventures. The money is well spent at the right time. I also remembered the first day I took her home and I still lived with my parents. They were so mad as soon as they saw the tow truck dropping you off in the front driveway, they didn’t even want me to step a foot inside the house, that angry voice of saying “ Why did you buy that piece of junk”, I just laughed and looked at my truck knowing that I will be the one driving it and not them.
The first day started with fixing something to my truck but first of course I had to give her a name and I spent more hours thinking of a name for her than what I took trying to fix all those bumps and scratches that she had. I finally decided that I wanted to name her Toaster. The reason why I decided to name it is because I wanted to make her a fast truck that can toast anyone who wants to race her. Therefore I started to fix her day by day and wanting to and desiring that one day she will be the fast truck that I have dreamed of her being. After a good 4 months of hard work and so much money spent I was finally getting to that small touch that she needed in order to make her turn on and run. I was able to smile and know how much effort I had put into making her work. I had so much joy that I was thinking of how much more I could add into that truck. I thought of a supercharger and much more, but my main goal was to always keep her running.
After so much hard work I finally was able to start installing stuff into my truck to make her run fast. I had finally installed twin turbos and an intake, later on she had to sit down in the driveway without being turned on because she first needed to get a good tune up. But finally the day came to get the tune up and I was so excited about the aftermath of this. As soon as I got the truck back on my hands I decided to go to the track with my friends and we raced. I couldn't believe how fast my truck was and it's an expedition. I didn’t think it had that much potential but of course everything has to come to an end. After having all of that and adding more into my truck it just decided that it wanted to give up and now her old age has catched up and of course I don't have a lot of money now that I live by myself.
A lot has happened and many fun memories have been created but I am happy to say that I loved this car more than anything and I am happy to know that she is still giving it all in order for me to go to point A and point B but I know it's almost time for her to give up and the dashboard says high mileage now. Therefore I understand and will miss her a lot as I cant restore her because it is a lot of money. Now I will just wait, until I see her running as fast as she once did.
