As she was tightening the hood, Cindy's best friend, Rachel, pulled up in her own car. "Hey, girl! What's going on?" Rachel asked, eyeing Bertha's sparkling clean exterior.

The two friends chatted for a bit longer, catching up on each other's weeks. As they were saying their goodbyes, Cindy mentioned that she was thinking of taking Bertha on a little road trip the following weekend.

Cindy shrugged. "Bertha's still got it where it counts. Plus, I don't want to be stuck with a huge car payment every month."
