If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking
about trading it in for a newer model. Most of my moving parts
could do with being oiled.
I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish
and my paint job is getting a little dull ..
Its difficult to start me, once Im parked.
Sometimes I forget where I am supposed to be going.
My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close
My traction is not as graceful as it once was.
I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.
It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.
But that's not the worst of it:
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or splutter, either my radiator
leaks or my exhaust backfires!
All this torque. there's nothing like a good mechanic to oil your bits for you and replace the loose wobbly parts with a gentle nudge and tweak here and there. It may cost more but you are worth it.
