Dear Little Zipper,
We've had quite a good run together. I remember when I first got you back in 1999. You were only three years old, so cute and green. I had just moved back to Texas from New York City, where I hadn't been driving a car for a few years. When I drove you off the lot, I prayed that God would always keep me safe while I was driving you. And He did! That's not to say that you and I didn't find ourselves in a bit of trouble from time to time, but He always kept us from harm. Remember that time when another car unexpectedly pulled out into an intersection and I had to swerve to miss it? You fish-tailed right and left and right and left again and then you spun around facing us the wrong way and we skidded right into the median. We had a soft landing in the brush...right between two trees, without hitting either one of them.
I'll never forget the day I walked out of work, and saw that someone had scratched the word "BITCH" onto your hood. That was SO not nice of them! I tried to buff it out, but it never went completely away...and I was secretly happy. That mean person had no idea that his/her act of vandalism made you that much cooler. Before you were my little Zipper. But now you were my bitchin' Zipper, or as you affectionately came to be know by all who asked about your scratches, The Bitch-Mobile. Thanks for rolling with the punches on that one.
We've had some good times together, too. Lots of highway time to and from rehearsals and performances. Singing songs together. We even drove out to LA together. Thank you for being so reliable. I know that last week, when all of your dashboard lights came on and you fizzled out, you were just worn out. You didn't mean any harm. I'll miss you, dear Zipper. Thanks for the memories!
Your friendly driver,
Tracy

Awww, RIP bitchin' Zipper. Look at the bright side, Tracy, no you get a new car. Right?
Also, I love your new profile picture.
You look so beautiful in that picture. :) I had a little green roller skate once. It was a good little car. I'm sorry your zipper fizzled. So, what is NEXT???
Farewell Bitch'n Zipper!
Such a lovely tribute to your road companion.
I also love the new pic. Very glam in a down to earth way. ;)
Sorry the bitch zipper is out of your life. I always liked you, but I like you just a little more now that I know you welcomed the 'cool factor'. ;) Life gives you lemons, missy, and you made some yummy lemonaid.
I can't believe someone scratched that into the hood of your poor car! That is so rude. Sorry about little zipper. It's hard to give up a car when you've had it for a while. :(
