Goodbye WGK 8280

I never thought parting with a car can be so emotional.

It did. As I did. Just now.

The car, Proton Iswara Aeroback, has been with us for about 12 years now. It has been a faithful and loyal car to us, especially to my siblings. My sister was trained to drive with that car. So did I. My father will let us drove around the neighbourhood, while teaching us the proper way to drive, with that car. It has been very patience with us, especially when we just started learning. All the screeching and ramming. All the sudden brakes and near misses. It stood by, and guide us all the way.

We had a few accidents along the way with it. Nothing serious, just some dents. The colour of the car is still vibrant, with no signs of aging, minus a few rusty area here and there. The fuel inside the car was seldom full. Most of the time, the meter will show only a quarter of fuel left. Yet, as we become very familiar with the car, we know its limits and capabilities. More often than not, we pushed it to the limits, to the extend that we nearly ran out of gas. But it persevered, and it drives on.

I personally become very intimate with the car. Yes, I do talked to it sometimes. It became alive to us. My sister even gave it a name.

And now it must go. A new car is coming in, and it has became too old. My father wanted to sell it quickly before the value become even lower. Today it ran its final trip with us, and I have the honour of driving it for the last time.

This is my appreciation to the car.
Thank you Roxy.
Thank you for your service and your loyalty.
We love you.
