Sonnet: Kuru, my freedom, my joy.
It was the year of two thousand and one
and President Bush inaugurated.
I had not wheels to place under my bum
leaving me trapped, quite sad and frustrated.
"I must find a way to get where I need;
for food and classes and friends far away.
A car I must have!"And did I succeed?
Kuru, red Focus, dream car still today.
Through winters and springs, fair trips to the sea,
My car, my love,together we frolicked.
Though dented and scratched up she still pleased me,
But I sold her today. I should be kicked!
Now to a land where they drive on the left,
but I'll think of Kuru each day 'til death.

Good luck on your journeys Karen!!! (And don't feel too guilty about the car, it can't really feel.
andrew is now also the proud owner of a little blue civic, and i cooed to my darling dze that she shouldn't feel intimidated, that i loved her no less. now if only i could have my license back so i might drive her again...
kuru's treated you well, let's raise our glasses to a lovely loyal car
I ended up spending much more time with the buyers today than either parties anticipated... and I am fully convinced that they will take good care of her.
Salieri (son) and Zeid(dad) are both Bosnian refugees here for the last 9 years and American citizens. Zeid was a art history professor at a university, but his elglish is not superb and so is now working some menial job, second shift. He doesn't mind. He is getting new teeth, so was embarrassed to talk too much. He is a painter. Salieri is an electrical engineer, racing luxury cars on the side (breaking them) for Car and Driver. His dad says he is obsessed with cars. (and he loved mine. his other car is a beamer). Salieri has some artistic talent as well. When he was a boy he won a contest nationwide. Their whole amily got to ride in a charter plane as prize. He has a beautiful wife (i saw pictures) and 2 year old daughter Amora (also beautiful) with another child on the way. he saw the ultrasound last night and cried.
It was a greta experience actually. I feel like I met wonderful people and friends.
Another lucky moment in the life of Karen.
Though i still mourn my loss.
He said he always kisses his cars goodbye and encouraged me to do the same. :-)
Until we meet again little Kuru!
