My little black Tonero, which is a 1990 Toyota Camry, is living his last days.
Like me, he doesnt like the bitter cold much and he has seen far too many Winters.
Current symptoms:
-Crack in glass (the cold is making it grow daily)
-he needs a prayer to start (sometimes two)
-overheats (yes, in the winter. plan crazy)
-heater doesnt work (pile on the sweaters folks)
-head.gaskets are practically blown
(I refill coolant every couple days)
-Idle speed is somewhere around 10mph
(this means he leaps when I take my foot off the brake)
-Alignment is now a sharp right.
(dont let go of the wheel or you may flip a U w/out meaning to)
-He died on my way to the Fiances house yesturday
(good thing I wasnt going to work)
I could go on, but its just too hard for me to admit that I dont have enough money to fix him. He legally belongs to my father, but I have been driving him for the past three years. We predict that he'll be in the dump before too soon...sad. sad. sad
I will miss you Tonero!! You have been so good to me for so long...

Oh my dear! I am so sorry about your loved Cameron. Losing a loved one (like a car) is always a toughie. I used to have a white '95 Ford Escort. I loved that car so much....but then my evil bro crashed it. NOOO!!!!! I didn't have time to mourn the loss of my dear baby. Sob, sob, sob.....But, of course, I hold no remorse. Of course....
I hope that you are doing and Cameron doesn't die on the way to work or anything like that.
Love you, Man! :)
Thank you sweet Ashlyn!!!
What would I do without your soothing compassion? I am so sorry you can feel my pain...but we are feeling it together :)
