Okay, i'll admit--i've always had the fantasy of a brand new car showing up on my driveway Christmas morning, with a big red ribbon. FANTASY is the operative word. Anyways, on my return from Tucson, I came home to find a brand new Acura TSX in the driveway..and my fateful companion, the white celica, gone.
I had an inkling that my mom might have something up her sleeve, when we stopped to look at the TSX's about a month ago. I figured she was looking more for herself and maybe trading in the MDX for a sedan.
I've always wanted a TSX..in my mind it being the perfect car. My dream car in fact. 4 doors, but still compact. I was going to get myself an older one and buy it when i got back from Spain. And somehow..it's going to already be waiting for me. I want to pinch myself.
I feel really lucky today, and really really appreciative.
I want to write a small thank you memoir to my celica. Please stop reading so you don't think i'm a total loser.
Dear Celica aka Lola,
I would like to thank you for being my fateful companion. I remember when you showed up at my house my junior year of highschool--I loved you so much that I learned how to drive stick shift in 1 day. Thank you for tolerating stalling at every red light the next morning on the way to school. I think I cried from frustration. Also, thank you for being patient with me when learning how to downshift. Thank you for forgiving me everytime I pulled forward too much and scraped the front bumper. Thank you for having the best turn radius ev-er. Thank you for becoming clean again after you sat under a gross tree for 3 months in Santa Fe when I ditched you and opted to drive the BMW while I could. Thank you for being a stick shift..so it was practically impossible to drive you under the influence. Also, thank you for being reliable--particularly in the most embarrassing moment of my directionally retarded life while driving from New Mexico to Arizona..and somehow ending up accidentally in Texas. Thank you for being the best little Celica in the world, and whenever I see a white celica--i'll miss you.
Sincerely,
Courtney Elizabeth
