I know it's sappy, but I feel like a little part of me drove away today, never to return. Yes, she was a 1999 Plymouth Neon with tons of "quirks" - my sister has called her "jank" on many occasions - but she was there for me. Lola was with me when I started dating my now-husband, when I went off to college, when I broke up with my boyfriend (all eight times), when we drove home after our wedding, when we drove home from the hospital with our son. I have cried, screamed, laughed, and lived in her. And it was sad to see her go.
But now I have Wanda, and she is lovely. She represents a new chapter of my life and I am glad for that.
Still ... I will probably always miss Lola.

Dude - I loved your car too. We had a lot of fun in it. I also remember Bryson's first car - now that car was so perfectly trashy I loved it too. Sigh... first cars... memories...
