...guard PEnnypacker and stalwart FIdelity will be gone; San Francisco will lose its lusty KLondike and sunny VAlencia; Mobile's TUlip will wither alongside Cincinnati's BRamble and Santa Fe's YUcca.

Instead of shifting into lower gear, pulling off the road to the right, grabbing for his emergency brake, or simply switching off the ignition and coasting to a stop, Driver Batchelor invited the undertaker.
