for the dearest
by fathina diyanissa
This post is gonna be the longest post i've ever made in 2012 by far, and this i present to my car Epo.
meet my dearest bestfriend. call him Epo. he's my mojo ride; ever since i started driving cars i've been driving him. i've driven other cars, too, but most of the time it's him.
call me weird or what, but this car has been very very dear to me. idk, he's just like a buddy. kemana-mana hampir selalu Epo yang jadi andalan. pernah super baret-baret, penyok, lecet-lecet, sampai akhirnya kemaren baru aja dicat ulang sampai dia super mulus dan ganteng, i feel like falling in love with him all over again.
Epo udah tua, dia Lancer Evo III keluaran taun 1994. kaki-kakinya udah ga jelas, jendelanya udah banyak yg rusak, kuncinya udah ga bener, apalagi radio udah deh gausah ditanya. tapi mesinnya, duh gila bagus banget. beneran mantep banget. tanya semua orang yang pernah test-drive Epo. they'll say he's the manliest car, ever!
he's maybe flawed, but i think he's the best. sempet ada rencana untuk jual Epo. tapi gw ga mau, gw lebih milih nabung buat benerin dan bagusin dia. tabungan gw kmrn sempet dipake buat cat ulang dia. rencananya gw lg nabung lagi buat benerin kaki-kaki dan audionya. oiya, pasang kaca film juga. pokonya, gw udh punya rencana macem2 deh sama dia. sama sekali ga kepikiran mau ganti mobil laen.
hari ini, Epo dibeli orang. padahal sebenernya ga niat dijual sih, asalnya mau jual mobil yang laen, tapi orang itu liat Epo, terus ditawar beli. banyak pertimbangan, akhirnya Epo dijual. besok, Epo udah resmi bukan milik gw lg.
rasanya aneh banget, kayanya pertama kalinya deh gw sesedih ini melepas sesuatu milik gw (padahal yg beli mobil itu pun bukan gw). tadi gw abis jalan-jalan terakhir sama Epo. lumayan, ngetol, doing some 100++ kph with him haha, and he's a nice ride as always.
take care Epo.
Lancer kesayangan gw, yg selalu diprotes sama temen-temen kampus gw, "kok plat-nya B sih ceu?" kalo ketemu mobil ini di jalan, salamin ya!
he's gone nearly 160 kph, and he could do more! haha mimpi kali ya geber dia sampe 240
dulu waktu belum di-tuneup, susah banget nyalain Epo terutama kalo dini hari pulang abis gawe gitu, haha. pasti sekali dua kali gagal distarter, sampe harus diem dulu sambil nepuk-nepuk dasbor Epo, "ayo Epo, jalan dong Epo"
did i mention i shared this car with my brother? well, this is his - gantungan spion ramones
AC Epo biarpun lawas tapi dingin hahahaha, bikin mabok AC!!
always love the little peek we always take every now and then here :D
my daily view from the driver's seat! handsome Epo!!
mungkin gw terdengar agak maniak atau drama queen bikin post sepanjang ini cuma buat mobil doang, haha, tapi beneran gw sayang banget sama Epo. i feel like i'm obliged to make 'a tribute post for Epo' hahahaha :p tomorrow he'll be taken away from my garage and someone's garage will be his new home. i'll miss you verrrrry much Epo, doain mobil gw yg selanjutnya bakal lebih kece dari dia ya, hahahaha.
