Dear Hoopty,


You have been a part of our family for nearly nine years... We have loved having you and look forward to several years of using you day in and day out!
You continue to show immense endurance in your not so new car age (12 years to be exact). Thank you for always keeping us safe! Thank you for always starting up... (I will overlook the fact that you struggle a bit if Turtle has run your gas to fumes) Thank you for still looking decent, not running through tires like crazy, getting good gas mileage, and for still having functioning everything. A big high five to you for driving in the snow like a pro, and even handling Baccus Hwy in the snow drifts, (it's scary yes, but you still do it!) You have no idea how much that means to us!
JS and JA are worried about you. You see, I told them tonight that Daddy (turtle to you) would need to work on you. Seems you have a bit of a grinding issue. You made Turtle a little nervous on the commute to and from work yesterday and today, so he decided to let you take a "nap." JS and JA aren't really savvy to this, since you have always been ready and willing to GO GO GO!
At first we thought, Dang it, hopefully this isn't too big of a deal, but as always, you pulled through, and proved to only need brake pads and maybe a new set of Rotors. What a BLESSING!
Hoopty, we are so grateful for you, and hope you know we have high hopes for you. When it comes to putting you or your partner "the Pilot" in the garage you are always our first choice... Now we are not saying you are better than the Pilot, but you have a habit of getting stolen and vandalized... We will continue to take great care of you... but you must agree to do the same!
In closing, you are the best car we have ever had! Thanks much, and we look forward to driving you another 180,000 miles!
Sincerely,
Your Owners.
