Terry Dietrich was still a teenager in 1972 when she decided to splurge on the car of her dreams, a bright blue Corvette Stingray. And just six months later, her world was shattered when her precious car was stolen from her office parking lot.
當泰蕊．迪崔奇在1972年決定斥資買下她的夢幻車——一輛淺藍色的Corvette Stingray時，她還只是一名青少女。6個月後，她的愛車在她的辦公室停車場被偷，她覺得簡直天崩地裂了。
Dietrich said police gave her little hope, and told her that her beloved Corvette was probably gone for good.
迪崔奇說，警察沒給她太大希望，還告訴她，她的愛車Corvette恐怕就此一去不返。
"I was very sad," she said. "It took me a couple years to get over that."
「我很傷心，」她說。「我花了好幾年才走出傷痛。」
Then, last October, a call came out of the blue to the Georgia native, telling her that her car had been found in North Carolina.
然後，在去年10月，身為喬治亞州民的迪崔奇突然接到一通電話，告訴她車子已在北卡羅萊納州尋獲。
"Everything is just come back and looking so familiar," she said, noting that her beloved car even sounded the same.
「一切都回來了，而且看似如此熟悉，」她說，還說她的愛車甚至連聲音都沒變。
"I know it’s old," she said. "But I’m old too! We’ll grow old together."
「我知道車老了，」她說。「但我也老了！我們將一起變老。」
