Story Submission by Omar, Age 23
It all started when I was 7 years old. My dad announced that he had bought a new ride. He was so happy and I was happy to see this happiness through his eyes. I still remember how carefully he dealt with her and I considered as a part of family. Years passed so fast and he passed away. I was totally shocked. I faced a dramatic change through my life and it is now my time to fight for my life on my own. She is the one crossing my mind when it comes to memories and happy times. I do my best to keep her in good condition and low mileage. As a petrol head she is committment and loyalty. Its something memorial from my father who did his best to raise me well. She is clear and never fakes me. When she is not okay she tells me in her way – a bad smell, unusual sound or check light in the cluster. I found with her a bond I barely find with people!
