Magdelana ~ Rest in Peace

Last night, a little before two am, my little 1997 honda civic coupe, innocently parked on the street in front of our apartment, was brutally totalled, by a chevy tahoe.

We live on a one-way street where the speed limit is 25mph.

The dry spot is where my car WAS parked.

No back end! She had to be towed away last night. She bravely limped to the middle of the street to a spot where the tow truck could get to her.

She had a very full existance.
Here's me in 2002 putting a band-aid on a cosmetic bump on her bumper.

I have many fond memories with her. She helped me get to everywhere I've been in California for the last eight years. We've been to Canada and back, to Wyoming and back, up and down the entire California coast, and to burning man three times together. She was very reliable and patient. Here she is on the coastal dirt road, whose name I can never remember, through Redwood National Park.

I'm glad she had one last trip to Tahoe last weekend, even if Mark did break his collorbone on a mountain.

I'm also glad I didn't fill her up with gas yesterday.
