Snowball, king of the road

The "Check Engine" light comes on any time the humidity or temperature changes much. And the wierd squeal that was coming out of the right front wheel seems to have moved to the left rear wheel, and it´s got a fat ass, and it´s covered in mud, and its overdrive is more of a groan than a gear. But that old Subaru station wagon has taken us about 6,000 miles through some really really shitty roads frequently and arbritrarily dotted with cow-sized potholes. Its nickname, Snowball, is funnier to us the further south we get. We love, love, love Snowball, especially if, despite nearing the 200,000 mile mark on his old odometer, that fat, white beast from the north can please please carry us all the way home.
