The Vehicle~

When I was first built, all my parts were new and well oiled and I shined like a new penny. Pedestrians admired my sleek look as well as the hum of my fuel efficient engine. As time wore on, some of my parts wore out. Granted, it was a long time coming, but it was inevitable despite the general maintenance. What once opened and shut with the gentlest of hand now has to be pried open and slammed shut while the hinges creek with age. The lustrous shine that had once existed has become dull and in some places I have rusted. Thankfully, my engine is still working albeit the hum is more of a grumble, but at least I still work even if not as efficiently as I used to. Although pedestrians no longer admire me, I still take pride in the ride I provide. Luckily, my breaks are like new as they haven't been used. I've come a long way baby and I am a classic! ~ March 12, 2014 @ 5:11 p.m. EST
