Dear (_____)

Dear automobiles,

The first one will hopefully make owning the second one a lot easier to own and work on.  I mean, it gets boggling building a complete tool set:

"You need a standard set of sockets, not metric.  Not standard regular sockets, you need deep metric sockets.  Standard pass through wrenches only.  Low profile wide mouth 12 point sockets only with a two foot cheater bar and universal joint."  The small costs add up quickly, but the things you cannot do shrink quickly too."

You're pretty alright, automobiles.  I plan on keeping the one of you I own until I've got every tool I'll ever need to keep you running forever.  Or until I can afford a new one.  Or 300,000 miles.  Whichever comes first.

Scratch that.  The first one or the second one.  Even if I can afford a new one, I'll keep you for as long as you'll keep running for me.

lovingly yours,

a shadetree
