This is my car--a 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix.
I Love my car.
I even named her--Aurora.

That was because she has a red stripe and the only time I have ever seen the Northern Lights, it was a red streak in the sky.

She is the only car I have ever owned myself--not had to share with a man/husband.

And she is dying.

I paid $800 for her 2 years ago. She has run well, with some repairs. But lately the repairs are running a steady $2-300 a month.

And now she has stalled three times---and the mechanic cannot figure out what it is.

I don't have more money to repair her.

I don't have money for a new or different car.

Each trip I take I pray through--that she will get us there and back.

She has been running fine the past week, and I am grateful.

But I worry everyday.

Perhaps my ancestors will come and comfort me tonight, when the veil is thin.
