    Years ago at a car club meeting a member recited a poem/eulogy about an old car for a member that passed and I would like to find the words for a friend. I can't remember much about it but it paralled an old car wearing out to a person getting older and passing away. Radiator leaking etc.. If anyone knows this poem (?) I would appreciate it. thanks

    If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about
    trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and
    scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull,
    but that's not the worst of it.

    My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see
    things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was.
    I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of
    weather.
    My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to
    reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.
    But here's the worst of it -- Almost every time I sneeze, cough or
    sputter.....
    either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!

    Not sure if this is the one you were looking for
