06/25/2002 Entry: "Pride"

Pride Parade, Portland Oregon

After driving the car for seven years, it looks like my Volvo ('Old Bessy' as my mom says) is finally being sold. I put 80,000 of its 136,000 miles on it, driving the highways of New Jersey and across the country twice. The car's been filled with skateboards on late night skate excursions, surfboards on trips down the NJ shore, snowboards, and everything I could stuff into it as we drove this past August to Portland.

I'll miss its wine-red exterior (the third of four wine-red Volvos my mom has bought), crazy tight turning radius, enormous trunk for storing aforementioned items, and especially its familiar comfy seats that feel like they've been fitted just for me.
