Sephia finally gave up on me, she gave up on this cruel world. We were together for five years, not very long according to some standards, but for us that was all the years we had. She was good to me most of all those years, but at the beginning she had a rough start. She was too demanding, it was too expensive to bring her in line, too many break-ups, but in the last couple of years she didn't give me any troubles, she didn’t have any major issues, the rest of the way till she fell apart there was hardly any major problems.
I know a lot of people didn’t like her, heck I even know some people made fun of her, behind my back or dared to do it in front of me. Some people went as far as calling her ugly, yes ugly. They even laughed at her, but I didn’t care what they said, I didn’t care if they ridiculed her, or me. She was loyal to me. She knew her strength and her weaknesses, and she did her due diligence to take care of me when I needed her the most, when I was broke and penniless, she helped me all she could. When I was recovering from my divorce and in dire financial trouble she didn’t abandon me. She served me well and that's what I loved her for the most. She didn’t care what I had, she cared about my potential. She was ugly but loyal, or maybe she was loyal because she was so ugly. I don’t know and I don’t care. All I want to remember is how good she was to me. All the trips we took together without a complain, even when I pushed her too hard she didn’t complain. In this world of ours this kind of loyalty is hard to find anymore.
She is gone now and there is nothing I could do about it, there is nothing I could do to bring her back anymore. I have moved on. I have a new love in my life now. Her name is Cube. I know it’s a strange name but the name befits her. She is roomy, I mean inside of her is so wide open. Once I get inside of her it’s like heaven. And another thing, she is also ugly, she is so ugly that it makes her beautiful. She turns heads. I see some people look at her with awe, some people even have come over and expressed their complement.
***
Footnote:
1996 Kia Sephia, the picture is not of my car but you get the picture. Her clutch burned up in a mountainous road. I decided to haul her ass to a junk yard, hopefully some other people will use her body parts. I know she would've like that. She still had a good engin, transmission, and a good battery.
2009 Nissan Cube, I love her so far.

Producing smart car, now that is quite funny
by Anahid Hojjati on Wed Oct 28, 2009 12:37 AM PDTI like MPD's comment that maybe Natalia should let his and her Mustang mate and produce a smart car.
Very funny blog
by Kill Mouse Traps on Tue Oct 27, 2009 08:09 PM PDTYou had me fooled all the way to the end.
Nope
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Tue Oct 27, 2009 05:02 PM PDTNo inbreeding will occur. She has her eye on another, a Stingray
Can you really blame her? :o)
.....
by yolanda on Tue Oct 27, 2009 01:09 PM PDTDear MPD,
Hi! Your post cracked me up, you said:
************************************
I try to save the young from losing their lives, become trapped in this Hotel California.
***********************************
I recall you recommended the newcomers to read your poem "Welcome Alene" and you intended to dissuade people from being addicted to IC, but your poem is too funny for people to stay away from your writings and IC, people started to read more your stuff and become more addicted!! O:))
You also have left your foot-prints and scents everywhere in IC to make people laugh more......I recall Anahid wrote a great poem called "We are Iranian diaspora", you responded with 2 or 3 additional funny poems with the lines like:
We immigrants don't waste
We don't disgrace......
How can we not be laughing or not addicted?
Actually my strategy for not being too addicted to IC is to read the nasty comments about me left by the bullying bloggers .......it really helps me stay focused on my day job........
My lunch break is over!
Thanks again for your funny post!
Thanks,
O:))))
Thanks MPD but
by HollyUSA on Tue Oct 27, 2009 09:15 AM PDTThis has become a very deliberate attempt for me to cure myself of an old ill. You see every once in a while I get this uncontrollable urge to be in the midst of 'my own kind'. Everytime I end up walking away sorely disappointed. This time I'm going to teach myself a lesson I won't soon forget ;)
Wait a minute Nadia, You have a male and a female Mustang
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:31 AM PDTWhy don't you let them mate so they might produce a Smart baby?
yolanda, O, my sweet yolanda. I tried to save you but
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:41 AM PDT..........
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Mon Oct 26, 2009 11:27 PM PDTOn the contrary MPD. I have always referred to the green Mustang as a she. Not sure how it got started. The white Mustang as a he.
I think that I would say that you have gone over the ledge. ooops over the edge.lol Yes....yes, it was what I meant. Whahaha
I cannot believe that I am still awake at this vampire hour. I can't seem to fall asleep.
LOOOL!
by yolanda on Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:07 AM PDTHi MPD,
You are way worse than me and you are way more addicted than me. You write article after article....poem after poem...you write in 2 different languages....I can only write my foolish comments with one language, my broken English.....I do have a full-time job and I am financially independent, I don't live off my parents .....I have been working since I got into graduate school.....I have to work 'cause I don't have a big inheritance like Lisa-Marie Presley......if you want other people not to be addicted, you have to set up the example yourself, so we can follow in your steps, right? O:)).......so you can be our role model!!!!! :O)) I still don't understand what "sexist" means.....is that some kind of dirty word? ....... another thing is that I have been working since 1st week of September...I am a pretty dedicated worker, I always work over-time without the over-time pay and I do it willingly.....of course, during summer I don't work and I admit that I was very addicted to Internet. During Iran's election & post-election, I visited Huffington Post Nico Pitney's live blogging, watched CNN's live coverage, and read LA Times at the same time...I contributed (sent links) 2 videos to Nico Pitney's blog, the guy e-mailed me & thanked me...he also thanked me in his world famous blog by my real 1st name. That is my 15 minutes of "fame"! (yeah!!!!...sory for bragging!) ......right now I am not that addicted anymore..... .I only come here before and after work......it is a big improvement! It is a quantum leap, please give me some credit!!!! :O))
Another suggestion: if you don't want us to be addicted, please stop writing your funny stories...O:))..so we don't have to come here day in and day out, right? You are one of the sources for addiction...You are one of the root-causes! (LOOOL!)
Take care and I am glad that you sound better, yeah!!!!!!!!!
HollyUSA, Do you still remember Alene?
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Mon Oct 26, 2009 10:13 PM PDTI tried to warn you, like so many others before you. Please try to get out while you still have a chance. Run, run! Run HollyUSA. Don't stay, don't become a prey. Get away!
Nadia, Your vehicle is obviously masculine
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Mon Oct 26, 2009 10:03 PM PDTSo, I really don't want to humanize it. You know how masculine objects are; they tend to misbehave when they are driven by female operators. Haven't you noticed how so many masculine cars driven by female motorists crash into walls! It's all the fault of those male beast of cars.
God, the hole is getting bigger and bigger.
LOL MPD
by HollyUSA on Mon Oct 26, 2009 09:55 PM PDT"HollyUSA, I think we are on two different tracks"
Well Duuuhhh! Of course we are. You keep switching personalities and I've had a long day. I was bound to get lost at some point.
Go read Hamid Taghavi's blog 'Thus spoke zan Ossta'. It's funny. And watch the video link I posted there too. Might help you (and them, the others within you) gather yourselves and your wit back.
I'll go see what else you've posted.
HollyUSA, I think we are on two different tracks
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Mon Oct 26, 2009 09:48 PM PDTI'm trying to lighten up the atmosphere and things seem to be getting worse. Obviously What I have here is failure to communicate. So, no. I don't like you to call me ignorant. It would hurt my feelings. And no, I don't know who called me a sexist. I'm glad it wasn't you, because you've said many kind things about my blogs, so no problem. I'll try to be more rigorous when I'm talking to you.
And for the record, HollyUSA never called me a sexist, or ignorant, yet. I was postulating some comical questions in general, about what kind of behavior might be construed as being sexist by some people. God! What has happened to my wit!
Hmmmmmm
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Mon Oct 26, 2009 08:40 PM PDTMPD,
I would love to read your humanization of my Mustang. Take a pick
Green 1997 Mustang (an example to help you visualize it better) .
//www.americanmuscle.com/1997-forest-green-mustang-coupe.html
or the 2006 White Covertible Mustang (example of car)
//www.newandusedcarsny.com/autos.php?te_class...yolanda, Did you ever get a job?
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Mon Oct 26, 2009 08:07 PM PDTIt looks like you're on iraniandotcom all the time now. Did you get addicted despite my warnings? It's a shame really, because you seemed to have the potential to do good for the society.
.......
by yolanda on Mon Oct 26, 2009 06:08 PM PDTHi! MPD,
LOOOOL! OMG, that is incredible! You have amazing imagination, but I am not going to be specific...
Thanks for the laugh!
In what way...
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Mon Oct 26, 2009 06:01 PM PDTIn what way do you mean “…apparently being so sexually attracted to a car!”? I’m not sexually attracted to her. It's nothing like that. It’s not like I sleep in Cube every night! I haven’t even laid down in her yet. I haven’t even checked her oil. Does this kind of talk make me a sexist?
I did pumped gas in her a few times, that’s all. Nothing sexual. I just paid for the gas and pumped it in her gas tank, that’s all. Am I digging a bigger hole for myself? I am just humanizing an object, that’s all. Is that a crime? I mean, I can’t humanize Cube as a man. No way! What if one day I have to clean his gear shift lever! Wouldn’t that be weird! I mean if the car was masculine. Am I digging a bigger hole for myself?
Passionately attracted to the car? Yes, I’m guilty of that. Sexually attracted to her? No, I don’t think so.
Yes MPD...
by HollyUSA on Fri Oct 23, 2009 12:04 PM PDT"...in English, countries and vessels (like boats) are referred to in the feminine!"
And I don't think you are sexist by virtue of using the terminology. I personally don't use 'she' to refer to cars, boats etc. I just think of them as an 'it' regardless of what the language and its historic rules / references are. But that's just me.
But I still do worry about you for apparently being so sexually / passionately attracted to a car! Nothing to do with sexism my dear.
Yes, "her" skin
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Fri Oct 23, 2009 11:21 AM PDTThank God (if there is one) and your affirmation, my car is feminine, becasue I love her.
"...in English, countries and vessels (like boats) are referred to in the feminine!"
In 'her skin'???
by HollyUSA on Mon Oct 12, 2009 03:40 PM PDTI worry about you MPD.
She has a chrome silver exterior
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Sat Oct 10, 2009 02:16 PM PDTChrome silver is her skin.
Iranian guy driving a Cube??
by HollyUSA on Mon Sep 28, 2009 12:01 PM PDTI hope you don't live in S CA or we may have briefly met in passing LOL. Is it charcoal gray?
Thank you
by yolanda on Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:21 PM PDTThank you for adding "e" to Good by. It looks light year better! (LOL!)
My car (1991 Toyota Tercell) died on me a little bit more than a year ago. The car failed smog check big time. At that time, California gave the car owner $1000 to put a car that failed smog check off the street. I recall the day I decided to dispose my car and get $1000 back.....I could not start my car, so I called AAA for jump, the mechanic came and succeeded in jumping-start my car......I drove 10 miles to reach the disposal site. I was elated!.......The guy at disposal site inspected my car and asked me to start my car and drive 10 feet forward....unfortunately, I could not start my car again. The guy told me that according to the regulations they won't issue $1000 if I can't drive the car forward for 10 feet.....so I bought a used battery from the diposal site (it is junk yard) for $12 and was able to start my car and received $1000 for my car.
I just checked California's DMV website, it looks like that they ran out of $$$ for this program.....
Thank you again for your funny story with the very dramatic ending! You definitely took us for a ride and it is a very creative writing!
Thanks,
yolanda
Darn! Now you know I read all of your blogs.......
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Mon Sep 21, 2009 07:50 PM PDTSlip of the tongue there for me. :o) I gave myself away. Oh what the heck! I admit it, I read your blogs but only comment on a few.
I just could not resist a car blog. Well, at least you are more faithful. I only plan on keeping my Stang until the end of next summer. I just need more vigor in my Stang.
Yes! I am looking to trade up. Shhhhhhh! Just don't tell my current Stang. :o)
Thanks for sharing. Again, I extend my condolescences.
Many apologies
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Mon Sep 21, 2009 07:36 PM PDTThis blog as it was originally posted had too many mistakes. I wrote it while I was running a cash register at my brother's convenient store. The blog was full of mistakes, which I have now corrected them, so if it has now created some discrepancies in your comments, my apology.
I was stranded in the middle of nowhere when my care broke down, so that's why I hurried up and bought the new car so I can come back to my home base today, but I really like the new car.
maziar 58, My old car would not qualify for Cash for Clunker program. She was giving me 15 miles per gallon, a very decent output. Also it was in the boonies where she broke down, so hauling her ass to a decent dealership was problematic, so I really don't have any idea what kind of trade-in value I would've got for her. I know she was valuable to me, up to the time she had her massive break down, but I don't know what value car dealership would have given her. A lot of car dealerships jack up their prices anyway before they give you a discount. Either way, I'm not very good that negotiating anyway. I'm the kind that says okay okay just give the final word and get it over with. Thank you for your well wishes.
bajenaghe naghi, Some asked me today if I missed her and my reply with teary eyes was resounding yes. Thank you for your sympathizing words.
yolanda, You've been nice to me as always. Yes, she gave me unconditional love for as long as she could.
Ali, Everyone seems to be understand and supportive. Thank you for your support also.
Nadia, Yes, I believe you knew who she was from my previous blogs, and yes she met her demise. The new model is definitely younger and has more vigor. I've been driving her for the last couple of days and I'm very fund of her. I'm planning to stay with her a minimum of three years, after that it's up to her.
Anahid, Thank you. I like the way your supplement your complement with that narratives that you like the most. What happened to your blue colored avartar? I liked it.
ebi, sepaas. I really liked the video clip :O)
Souri, You're very kind. I like to challenge my readers' imagination sometimes, that's why I created the confusion, and so the deception was all for fun. I know some men talk about the objects of their love in terms of feminine gender pronouns, instead of neuter gender, however as you would agree speaking of women as objects is not a good idea. Thank you.
Javaneh, Thank you for liking this blog.
NO TRADE IN ?
by maziar 58 on Mon Sep 21, 2009 03:27 PM PDTMPD khan in your home state don't they advertise:push,pull,drag your clunker & we'll give you $ 4500.00 guaranteed in trade in ?
your new cube will be kickin for years to come INSHALLA. Maziar

by bajenaghe naghi on Sun Sep 20, 2009 09:03 PM PDTyou got me all teary eyed until I found out sophia was your lovely car! That is when I zaar zaar cried.
Sorry for your loss, my friend.
Thank you, MPD
by yolanda on Sun Sep 20, 2009 05:01 PM PDTThank you for taking us thru the emotional roller coaster! I was exactly like javaneh29 that I was already forming my response.....I was deeply touched when I read this segment:
she did her due diligence to take care of me when I needed her the most, when I was broke and penniless, she helped me all she could. When I was recovering from my divorce and in dire financial trouble she didn’t abandon me. She served me well and that's what I loved her for the most. She didn’t care what I had, she cared about my potential.
I was thinking: Wow! What a nice gal! Oh my gosh! This is unconditional love! Not like the "No money, no honey" type of relationship! ........
When I saw "footnote", I started to burst into laughters!
Thank you for your anecdote, that is short, sweet, and funny!
thanks,
yolanda
MPD jaan...
by Ali P. on Sun Sep 20, 2009 04:47 PM PDTBeh iinaa goosh nadeh...
Very touching story indeed.
Yours,
Ali P.
Good one MPD
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Sun Sep 20, 2009 03:41 PM PDTHowever, I knew from the the first word/name Sophia that your loyal car had met its demise.
So, you replaced her with a younger model. Oh well! At least you did not fall for Mercedes.
May you and Cubet have many happy years together.
