Here lies the coffee can's obituary. The car I was wanting to repaint and freshen up, the only one that took the abuse and neglect only a teenager can give. This little red sentra I bought with 153,408 miles and died with 177,806 when it was crashed against an 18 wheeler. It had not a fancy backstory, not anything else that separated it from any other b13 on the road, it was mine and I liked it. It was a reliable car that hauled people and.... nothing else really. It had a few dents here and there, battle scars from drunkards backing into it, me scraping it against a fast food parking pole, bondo. Top Gear said that the Sunny had no soul, this one did, maybe because it was newer.... I dunno. I always thought it looked as stately and dignified as a crane in the water. It was slow, ungainly and had clunky steering. But it taught me humility, because I had to always plan ahead in order to turn or to speed away.... it was like a turtle in that aspect, not moving because you wanted to but because it was his way of doing things. Slow and calm. I wanted to keep it till it died or gave it to my sister, not happening, she wanted a beetle anyways. As I ponder and reflect about the car, I could have treated better earlier, I had always "loved" it. But I had not started to properly care for it till a year ago. It's gone. I miss the coffee machine and will always remember it as the tough and reliable bastard it was for it never left me stranded and i am thankful for it. G'day Oppo.

I'm sorry for your loss. May it forever live happily ever after on the racetracks in car heaven.

Glad to hear your OK: the car took the hit, so you didn't have to.

R.I.P., little Sentra.

I dunno. I have been lusting for a while at a small pick-up like my dad's (it's a Chevy S-10, but the temptation to pick up a project 240sx is quite... big.

Im not sure on how to proceed, I didn't get hurt or anything. Thankfully. Just the car.
