Can you really call a car a friend? Well, no matter what, the Intrepid was faithful!
On March 4 we said “Good-bye” to our 2002 Dodge Intrepid with its 241,313 miles and—if cars could talk—many travel stories. Although it never made it to California, we did drive the Intrepid to Minnesota twice, Texas twice, Louisiana once, Georgia twice, and Pennsylvania six times. Of course this is not to mention the thousands upon thousands upon thousands of miles Willis drove the Intrepid on every road in West Tennessee, Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois for work. What is that word for attributing human characteristics to inanimate objects? Because note the definition in the American Heritage Dictionary for intrepid: “Resolutely courageous; fearless. See Synonyms at brave.”
I think it fits!
Note: I took this photo because I like palindromes and wanted to record this one. Although I wanted to drive the Intrepid for another year, the end of our time together arrived sooner than I had anticipated; I’m glad I had taken the photo.

You didn't mention the sweet replacement vehicle!
I really like your new vehicle but I still think I see you driving around in the van! I'm like "there's Mel...no, wait, she doesn't have a van." I never got used to you in the Intrepid, and now you've got something new. I'm painfully slow.
OLe' Betsy was a faithful friend!
