How can I put into words what a wonderful car you have been. I've done my best to take care of you since the day I brought you home from the dealership. I was so excited about my new little 4-cylinder. And look where we are eight years later; we've been through so much together.
We spent a horrible summer together in Gilbert, AZ, selling Living Scriptures DVDs. We survived the ice storms of Utah, and a cross-country trek to Virginia. You've rear-ended someone in Utah, been backed into in Arizona, been run off the road in Kentucky, and been scraped by a garage door in Virginia. Who knows, maybe there were even a couple speeding tickets along the way. You did always like to go fast.
I wish our days together could last forever, but alas, Ciudad Juarez is no place for a Honda Civic, even one so brave and sturdy as you. Believe me, we're saving you from a worse fate. Juarez is filled with potholes, flooded streets, crazy drivers, and car thieves. It's better that you stay here in Virginia.
Jean, please don't think for a second that we're trying to replace you with something better. Sure, the new Rav-4 is cooler, newer, has more bells and whistles, and is all-around awesome, but you will always have a special place in our hearts. May you bear your new owners well.
Sincerely,
Ryan & Sarah Peterson
Welcome to the family! We are excited to take you down to Ciudad Juarez. The Mexican government requires that we bring a vehicle no more than five years old, and the Consulate recommended an SUV, so you fit the bill perfectly. Sorry we're taking you to such a crazy place across the border, but you were bred for adventure. We look forward to working with you for the next few years!
Ryan & Sarah Peterson
P.S. In case you were wondering, you were named in honor of one of our favorite Arlington restaurants, Ravi Kebab. It suits you well.
