It happens to all of us at some point in time. Life doesn't go on forever. Sooner or later you have to say goodbye to an old friend. Well, today was that day for me, a somber and somewhat melancholy occasion.
Fond memories rush back to the forefront of my mind at the remembrance of our first encounter. We spent many hours together, both alone and with others. There is just something about an old friend, words aren't even necessary when you are together.
She was iconic, classy and a superb display of a time gone by. She grabbed peoples attention, reminded us all of a better time. A trip to the ski hill, time with grandpa and grandma or a weekend of camping. Sure I've had newer, lighter, probably sexier. I just haven't had any that held my heart like my 1992 Toyota Landcruiser. She was beautiful.
So tonight, I'll have a toast, alone, in remembrance of my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. The only bottle worthy of such occasion is my remaining bottle of 2008 Deschutes Abyss. A unique beverage to toast a truly unique friend.
Cheers

What a shame. Maybe some day you can win her back.
