Although I have only known you for a few years of my life, we share a special connection I could never find with anyone (or anything) else. You’re always there for me when I need you, you carry my weight on your shoulders, you're strong and never break down and you’ve taken me to so many amazing places school never could. When I say I don’t know where I’d be without you, I truly mean it.

When we first met, it was love at first sight. I remember looking out the living room window and there you were. You had just gotten a car wash and a fresh wax, looking handsome as ever. You made your spot on the street your new home as I made a spot for you in my heart.

Not only are you just as amazing on the outside as you were when I first met you, you're just as perfect on the inside. You play all my favorite songs and hold on to all my favorite CDs. When the weather is nice, we roll down the windows and sing at the top of our lungs to songs we know all the words to. I know I turn the volume up a little too loud for you sometimes, but I know you can tell it makes me happy, so you don’t mind. In return, I love surprising you with the “Vanillaroma” Little Tree. You smell amazing for two weeks straight, and it brings a smile to my face whenever I hop in the driver seat. It’s the little things we do for each other that keep us going.

You’ve always been so good to me, and I’m sorry if I haven’t given you the respect you deserve. I’m sorry I always leave my empty Starbucks cup in the cupholder, I’m working on throwing it away, I promise. And I know you deserve a better wash than just rainwater, but that doesn't mean I don’t love you. I promise I’ll get you the deluxe wash before summer’s over (I know you’ve always wanted that).

But just like your gas tank, my love for you never runs out. You’re everything I could ever ask for and more. All these new fancy cars with tricked out interiors and “sick rims” have nothing on you. I don’t need a car with low milage or a built-in GPS. All we need is a full tank, and we could go miles and miles. I’d drive across the country with you if I could prove how much you mean to me!

You’ve given me so many memories and taken me places that I’ll never forget. Eventually our time will come and your engine will give out. After you, I’ll have to get a new car, but it could never replace you. Your sense of character is truly irreplaceable, and there is no other car like you. Thank you for pushing me to be responsible, caring, on time, cautious and showing me your wild side.

Love always,

Your owner
