Today, I said goodbye to Cynthia, my faithful 1997 Honda Civic. The used-car salesman from whom I purchased her was almost a caricature, with greased-back hair, a dingy office, and a clammy handshake, but I loved the car.

I wonder if I'd have felt differently as I drove away if I knew then what I do now: that this unassuming Japanese-made compact would be my companion for the next twenty-two years.
