Cindy - Car Drive 05

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.

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.

And with that, Cindy and Bertha were off, ready to take on whatever the open road had in store for them.

"Just giving Bertha a little TLC," Cindy replied, smiling proudly at her car.

Cindy had always been passionate about cars, but her current ride, a 2005 Honda Civic, was more than just a mode of transportation to her. She had named it "Bertha" and had lovingly maintained it since she bought it a few years ago.

Rachel nodded. "You and Bertha are quite the team. I'm surprised you haven't upgraded to something newer yet."

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."

Rachel's eyes lit up. "Ooh, where are you going?"
