I was always so proud to be seen with you, you were so butch and manly, and polished and classy... everything a gal could want, you even managed to make me look good (an amazing feat in itself) people would turn and stare, you never ever let me down even up to the end, when you spluttered and coughed your last cough as you lay on the roadside crushed and broken.... when I should have died, it was you who saved me, ultimately sacrificing yourself in the process....
R.I.P Reggie. I'll miss you!
Reggie was the name of my car, a 03 Rover 75 (which I think looks like a knock off S type jag till you look again), a big comfy car who never gave a moment of trouble ... until one morning I hit black ice on a bend, hit a banking and rolled the poor fucker down the road like a bowling ball, he was so solid the roof didn't completely crush in on me, and I lived to see another day..... But every panel of the car was mangled, therefore the insurance have written him off.... Is it odd to mourn a car?
What is odd though?
Its odd realising that I'm mortal, .and I still don't quite believe it. When people tell me how lucky I am, that it was a "good" crash, and that I have the luck of the devil or that God is watching over me, I would love to tell them to fuck off, but I don't because I know its true , anyway, I think death only happens to others, I'm way, way too young .... Aren't I?
One good thing though...... I smoked 30 + cigarettes a day up till that point ..... I haven't had one since the smash ( 3 weeks).
I'd also love to live long enough to see my kids grow up, and see my grandkids, but .......
Realising I might not makes everyday that bit more special.
NB
I'm now frightened to drive when its below 0 degrees and I pray for rain, but I still have to fucking drive,(@ 15 mph when approaching bends, to the annoyance of all behind me, I don't think I'll die in a car smash, I'll probably be beaten to death by the poor fucker trying to get to work behind me)

i was hit by a tram two weeks ago in the drivers door.it was going 45km/hour at the time.
if i was driving some euroshit instead of a big chrysler, i would have probably been injured.
due to my stupidity, i mangled a very nice automobile (in my opinion, anyway) but walked away without more than a couple of cuts. sure, yank tanks are needlessly large and expensive to maintain, but they are still made of sterner stuff than european cars. thank you, ya big gas guzzling bitch. you may have saved me life.
rovers are too conservative for my tastes, but at least they are of a decent size, so...
complete and utter nonsense. European cars have consistently higher safety ratings.

I named my dick but never a car. That's peculiar.

you named your car? I hate when people do that. Why not name your pillows or your couch?

+2 for that last everlasting run-on. It amused me a lot for some reason.

Icy roads make otherwise bland drives fun and exciting!

Grandad car. (Nice to see you about, you broke through the tethers and chains then).
I am very sad, my Avon order was wrong and the lip gloss they sent was so the wrong pink :(

there was a lack of the word "knicker" in this post.
+2 because I too had a vehicle give its life for me.
