Pedro

It’s funny how attached you can get to an inanimate object – our ancient beleaguered Corolla died on the weekend and we’re pretty damn sad about it. We got that car with 114,000 clicks or so, and over the next three years we added 200,000 clicks of our own.

It’s taken us all over southern Ontario, Tobermory, Sudbury, Terra Cotta, Mono Cliffs, Cobaconk, Kilarney and Merrickville, to name just a few.

Pedro had the honour of carrying my best friend on her wedding day.

The first year we had him was incredibly snowy… and we had to park outside. That car started, every morning, without fail, and never broke down until the day he made his last trip.

200,000 clicks is almost 5 times around the world. He has carried our friends and family safely home through all kinds of weather. You can ask no more from a car than that.
