In 2007 we bought a 1999 Honda Civic 5-speed.
It was used by several foreign exchange students, friends and family. Due to its front-wheel drive, I often drove it in the ice and snow. Besides, driving the standard transmission was kinda fun. Over the years, it was driven by Philipp, Jorge, Harald, Jake, Monica, Jonas, Ryan (who named her Libby), Mark and Steve. Libby was great. She delivered more than one Christmas tree
and because her back seat folded flat, she was great for hauling stuff around. Anyway, last Tuesday night she disappeared from our driveway. Yep, when I returned home from the KU basketball game, she was gone.
I like to think that Libby is now being used to drive around the sick and elderly. Or to deliver food to shut-ins. Or maybe just having a vacation somewhere exotic. Well, it could be true.
Thanks, Libby. Goodbye.
