Quote from Lorelai in It's Just Like Riding a Bike
Lorelai: I cannot find a car, though. Sookie: Did you see anything you like? Lorelai: No. I mean kind of, but they all have this new-car smell, which apparently people like, but I don't like it. I like the way my old car smelled and the way the zipper got stuck on the window and the little place where Rory signed her name in permanent marker. Sookie: Lots of memories, huh? Lorelai: Yeah, it was the first new car I bought and the car I taught Rory to drive in, and I know I have to move on. I know that whatever new car, tractor, float, I get will be great. It's just been a more emotional experience than I thought.
