Honda Crx 1986

Car love: parting with an old automobile

On Sunday the magazine ran my essay of my own beloved Volvo , and more stories poured in. Here are five of the many I received. You love your cars. Let me know in the comments if you have more!

Alice:

I take a lot of flak from my family for calling my 16-year-old Moonglow Camaro Z28 convertible Baby. My late husband gave her to me new in 1995 to drive around South Bethany Delaware where we had our large retirement home. I’ve had her all these years and worry over her when something goes wrong with her like she’s a child.

I’ve always done the detailing on my vehicles and I still do even though it takes longer these days. I know it’s silly as I have a beautiful Inferno Red Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, fully loaded as well, but she’s just not the same as my Baby. I believe one is either a car person or not and I love beautiful fast cars and motorcycles and have always driven them despite the fact that I am now a 69-year-old great-grandmother of ten. Once in a while one of the teenage grandchildren will ask me for Baby and I have to tell them I’m being buried in her so I can drive her in heaven.

Ellen:

I was born in 1981 and went home from the hospital in my Dad's 1976 sedan, which I then drove all through high school and college. We have photos of me being placed in the car (nicknamed "The Tank") in my carseat at the hospital as well as next to it in my college cap and gown.

In 2005 I purchased my own 1998 Volvo (much to my father's embarrassment as it became the fifth Volvo in the family), which I am still driving and am madly in love with. None of our Volvos have left the family. The two oldest (the Tank and a '80s green station wagon) have made the move cross-country from home in Colorado to Western NY with my dad's crazy cousin who now owns them.

I can't even imagine how much money has gone into the cars to keep them running. I remember a time in high school when I was driving my tennis teammates around and my windshield wipers would not turn off and my manual roll-up window would continuously slowly fall open.

Jim:

Thanks for a great read. I felt much the same way about my 1989 Saab. I kept it garaged for 2 years after it passed away from a cracked block.
