RIP my car

 RIP my car.  It's just a piece of metal with some wheels on it, but it did what I asked it to do since 2014, and then some.  No, I did not do anything ridiculous in this car.  I became a real adult in this car.  I posted the best ever attendance record Amazon had ever seen (HR even told me that), as well as winning attendance awards at my current job too.  This was the first car I paid for myself and paid to maintain myself.
