Reflections On Turning 40
My conversation with our 1970 Plymouth Superbird.
Ironically enough all our classic cars are generally my age,
so I asked Our bird for advice on turning “ 40.”
Sitting down next to the bird, I asked,” What have you
learned in your 41 years?”
After some Reflection the Bird answered, “ I’ve learned
there is always a second chance, I was left for dead in a junk yard after being
wreaked and my memory was gone from the
event. I spent the next few years being passed around and forgotten one owner
to the next. I learned about hope and disappointment. Then Kevin came and took me home and stated
putting everything back into place, it was sometimes painful but it was also invigorating
when my wing was put back on and my face was put back to its original splendor.
I started to feel hope for the future all the pain started to fade away. I was
able to remember my youth and the great times I had standing out in a crowd and
being the best dressed most amazing Car on the road. “
“The Day you took me to the body shop I was so excited, finally
I was going to get dressed in the most beautiful paint and all my accents and
details would be restored to their shiny best. Your friend Tom was so patient
with me, he got frustrated sometimes and had to take a break, but with you and
Kevin helping you all got me back to being the stunner I am. When you put me back together for the last time
it was like getting ready for a new life and second chance. It felt so wonderful to be whole again.”
“ I’ll never forget that first show Kevin took me to, when
that woman ran into the trailer and just missed my bumper. I was so angry I had waited so long to be
made whole again and that Toyota was so embarrassed, I felt bad it was not his
fault, and I was ok so I had to forgive, I won’t forget however. At the show I
was reminded of how nice it was to be loved, I had finally found a home and a
family to love me.”
“Thank you For all the shows and Drives you take me on I
always have so much fun in the last few years I’ve made so many new friends and
enjoyed all the cruises so much I love to drive and show off my new paint . It’s
been 6 years since you and Kevin gave me a second chance, I feel like a new car
but I have the wisdom of an old car. My advice to you on turning 40, is to
enjoy everyday be thankful for love and never take life for granted you never
know what will happen next, and never lose hope in tomorrow.”
“By the way I’ve been wanting to ask, what is with the wings
on those little import cars? What are they trying to prove? The youth of today
is so funny.”
My fresh and awesome 440 six pack, Its so nice to breath clearly and feel my heart race with power.
.My first Show after being made whole agian Thank you Kevin and Joanna For making this old Mopar's Life Great!
