I am the Mom of three kids but always end up with more than just my kids in our van... Her name is 'White Magic' because she's white and its magic that this van still runs! She is starting to get old... she's from 1999. But, she always starts and takes me where I need to go and I have never been left stranded. Gosh I love her... she has never let me down. Even though my children try to feed her by leaving french fries, left over hamburger and once a cheap bean burrito (that was not pretty to clean up in the morning) I really don't recommend it because she's a 'mini-van' and has to keep her figure.
The few little rust spots are starting to show more and when you go up a hill the RPM's tend to be a bit higher than they used too... her gas mileage is also starting to slip, but I just cant get rid of her yet. We drove 'White Magic' to New York and back and never once worried about breaking down or not being safe. She is reliable!
They way I see it, White Magic and I are quite a bit alike. We both have high miles (I've given birth 5 times... yikes), she has rust spots and I have age spots, neither of us can hold our gas in as well as we used to and it takes more 'umph' to get us up hills! However, both of us are pretty reliable!
While she gets new break pads, I get a pedicure... She gets new headlights, I got a new set of boobs... She get washed and waxed an I get a facial and my brows waxed...
White Magic and I a lot alike and I just cant bare to part with her just yet... it's like saying that she's not new enough or good enough anymore and what does that make me??? Wonder if my husband is looking at a new sports car now?
