Bon voyage, Max. Hello Claire.

I have a sad announcement to make. Friday evening on my way home from work, my beloved Lincoln Continental, Max suffered his final blow.

Max has been my faithful car for the last 5 years. He has served me well and on one occasion, in the harsh New England winter weather, Max saved my life. It has been my great privilege owning and driving a car of that caliber. For 18 years his tires have been hitting the road with a gentle and barely noticeable thud; carrying with him, the undeniable grace and elegance attached to the Lincoln Fleet's former flagship. It was my honour to take some piece of the nearly 50 year history surrounding the Lincoln Continental, and I doubt in years to come, I will ever own another car like it.

Rest in peace, Max. I will miss you.
