Family Car

My object is my family car, it is really important to my family and me, it is a gray Toyota Four Runner that my dad drives, we use it when we go on road trips. My grandpa got this car when I was little in 2008, he was really excited about it and got custom seats from Japan in the back that were detachable so when me and my brother visited him he would attach the seats so that we could all go in it together. My grandpa the next year in 2009 passed away from cancer on exactly the day of my older brother’s fourth birthday. Before he passed away he said he could have the car for all our adventures, he wanted us to use it like he never did.
 It is made out of leather so everytime you sit in it you get the same feeling but everytime you sit in it you get a new adventure, it is the perfect shade gray and inside the car it has the perfect temperature. When I was little we would roll down all the windows and I would pretend that it was a rollercoaster and have the wind brush my hair and make me crazy.  We use this car for all our family trips like when we go to our grandma’s house in Chicago, or we go up to Michigan. It is great for road trips but the breaks do squeak sometimes. We have a hard time getting rid of the car because it means so much to us. 
 It represents our family in showing how we enjoy life so much more when family is around and how when we have the car it is almost like having our grandpa here to celebrate the joy with us.
