Well, as embarrased as i am to say this, my convertible lives no more. Driving home late friday night i was deep in my own head and not paying full attention to the road. I came up to an intersection and saw a car to my left and thought to myself "i dont think theyre going to stop, wtf why arent they stopping!?" In that split second i looked up at my light in time to see it was red. I slammed on the brakes, but it was too late already, impact. No one is injured in either car, at least im fine and as of yesterday the other parties were fine as well, hopefully they dont change their minds. I want to make sure you all know, that i was not driving drunk, as the police made sure of. The embarasment i feel for causing the accident, and the guilt i feel for destroying this car has been weighing on me heavily for the past day. But i am coming to grips with it.
My dad purchased this car in january of 1994, when i was 7 years old. There are so many memories around this car for everyone in my family. So the guilt of taking away the object associated with so many memories is what has troubled me. The thing is that those memories will always be there, they will not die with the car. Just because the car is gone does not mean i will forget about riding in the car with my dad helping him shift the gears, and learning about how they work. I wont forget all the epic battles i have waged with this car during my quest to make it into the car it was. These are just a few of the memories i have, and i know that everyone in my family has had some powerful memories of their own that they will hold onto forever, whether or not the car is here to remind them.
All in all this car will be missed but not forgotten, it is time to make new memories. Thanks for listening.
