On March 9, 2009 our Chevy Malibu was laid to rest. It had been over a year now since I, Alison Brown, had first stepped into that precious vehicle. Anthony had been driving on highway 78 when an idiotic lady pulled out from a side street. She claims she was trying to beat the traffic, but Anthony hit her car. Luckily Anthony was not injured, just a little sore, but the car was a different story. It had been damaged on the front passenger side, the hood, the bumper, and maybe even the frame underneath. Both airbags were deployed and it was towed away Wednesday morning.
When the car was first purchased in 2002 it was used as a missionary car. Driven by young teen boys it was driven rough, but had been kept up very well. Only a short time after did Anthony's brother, Lawrence, buy it when he returned from his mission. Anthony bought the car from his brother about a year or so later and had treated it like his own ever since. We have went on many dates, and vacations with this car. It has made it across the country many times as Anthony has traveled to and from school. It has been good to us. We have shared some precious times with that car and it will be missed.
It is sad saying goodbye to a car.

Rest In Peace, Malibu.
Things will come and go, but it is the memories that we keep and cherish. You guys will build even more memories in your next one!
