IF MY BODY WERE A CAR.
This is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull. but that's not the worst of it.
My fenders are too wide to be considered stylish. They were once as sleek as an MG, now they look more like an old Buick.
My seat cushions have split open at the seams. My seats are sagging. Seat belts? I gave up all belts when Timmies opened a shop at the corner.
Air bags? Forget it The only bags I have these days are under my eyes. Not counting the saddlebags, of course.
I have soooo many miles on my odometer. Sure, I've been many places ans seen many things, but when's the last time an appraiser factored life experiences against depreciation ?
My headlights are out of focus and it especially hard to see things up close.
My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.
My fuel rate burns inefficiently.
But here's the worst of it - almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter.....either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires. :)

I had a good laugh! I'll have to write that down and give it to my mom and MIL, (stuck in the dark ages without the internet!) they'll enjoy it as much as I did :D

That's great!

And rust: did anyone mention the rust in the joints and a lousy suspension?
Hit a bump, climb a mountain road: and oh, the kinks!
