Dear Corolla,

Happy 12th anniversary.

We've had good times this year. The plastic around the inside of your windows has nearly all come off. You have some weather stripping peeling away from your side. Remember when your door handle broke? And then, a month later when another door handle broke? It was really fun last week when your muffler fell off on the interstate during Friday evening beach traffic. I've learned to enjoy the silence now that your cd player doesn't work and the radio goes in and out. And you always get me with that whole "I think I'll turn the check engine light on for a week or so and see how she reacts" thing.

154,000 miles and still going strong(ish).

My LeSabre hit 208000 this month. I love her dearly, but I would like to get rid of the constant rattle, the terrible shocks, and the faint smell of aging milk.

Best to you and your car.

I'm hoping to make it to 200,000 at least - it may be junky but I haven't had a car payment in over five years. And liability-only insurance sure is cheap!
