When i first brought her home, she wasn't even crawling yet and needed a lot of love of attention.
Finally, she was up to a state where she was getting around town and on the highway.
She was far from perfect but she brought me great joy.
Now it's decided, she's moving on to greener pastures, and I'm happy for her being useful, but i'm also sad that I wont get to experience her anymore.

Talking my silver '98 E320, of course, lol.
Named the Silver Ghost.
I towed her from a lien auction where she wasn't even functional and slowly fixed her up to a state now where everything but the paint is pretty good.
This week, I gave her to my 18yo son because he's desperate for wheels, but with the proviso he doesn't sell her and gives her back after a few years.
