"I try to keep it simple, 'cause i hate goodbyes, and i try to keep it simple by telling myself that I, I Will remember you and all of the things that we've gone through.
There is so much I can say, but words get in the way, so when we're not together, I will remember you." -Ryan Cabrera
"Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you" -Sarah McLauchlin
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you" -Sarah McLauchlin
It seems silly to love a car so much that you give it a heartfelt tribute on your blog. Maybe it is silly. But Stevie is more than just a car. He's a feeling. He's freedom. He's an escape. He's salvation.
I've never felt happier than I do when I'm sitting behind the wheel of my car with open road before me. Though I know that in the end I'll turn around and go back to where I came from, the knowledge that if I choose I can drive to the end of the earth has kept me sane. It has kept me free. It has kept me whole. Knowing that I'll lose that feeling on Monday has taken my breath from me. I owe more to a piece of Japanese machinery than I could ever explain to you. So here's to you Stevie, the best friend I could ever ask for, the closest thing to home that I have right now. Tonight, we'll sit and drink together for the last time. Who knew that life would never be better than it was when we drove the open roads, with no end in sight?
"Behind us lay the whole of America and everything Dean and I had previously known about life, and life on the road. We have finally found the magic land at the end of the road, and we never dreamed the extent of the magic." -Kerouac
