rust envelopes
fractured fenders;
bent bodies
in farmer's fields
[dented].
absent of touch.

LOL, this is fun and different while mixing memories too!
Your title is very amusing, and I wanted to click right away. Wow, your descriptions are very tight and true, like your first line is such a way to think of it... especially like a literal bug that can fit in there, but this is explaining small age left. I also enjoy how you put in brackets, "dented" for a clearer understanding of the car being curved from previous shininess, smoothness. "absent of touch" gives a thought that it's lacking being used because it's still around but idol. And, so if you think of it as if it had feelings, you'd feel bad for it and want to hug it. A good personification by that it's seen through observation. We aren't supposed to beat up our cars anyway.
All of my congratulations to you on this gorgeous piece that is deserved gold all the way!
