Graf #5 ‘things’
There is something in my yard that I just can’t seem to part with. My 1991 Nissan nx. I’ve had it since 1999. I bought it during my tour of duty in the Army at Ft . Campbell, Ky. That car is a part of me. It’s taken me into Nashville, Tn, and then to Florida where me and my family moved to after the Army. I still remember when my children were quite young they would climb onto my lap from the back seat (now mind you this is not a very spacious interior) to sit on my lap to pretend to steer the car. Very fond memories indeed. That car has taught me to be a better mechanic also. It had an electrical problem that after lots of frustration got fixed and learned a lot too.
That car then took us to Maine where we now live, and it’s no longer road worthy. It’s now a parts car but still the kids play in it and pretend they are driving and such. Still, I can’t part with it. Not yet anyhow…this thing still means something to us.

Itr seems silly to allow oneself to get any kind of sentimental about vehicles but they are a huge part of our lives. I still dream about the second motorcycle I ever owned--40 years ago now--and just a week ago was looking at pictures of the model on line.
