I am on my way to the junkyard to fork over the title to my baby that I drove into ground yesterday. Didn't check the coolant, blew the head gasket, piping, and god knows what else. My first car, my true love, friend, companion. Schnifff. She'll be sorely missed.
<not to mention i dumped thousands of dolars into the damned thing in the last two years...grrrr>.

Picture from our happy days together.

Goodbye to a faithful companion.
It'll get better, Dag.
There will be moments that you can't believe your baby isn't outside your house, but it'll get better.

I sometimes still miss Egbert, my first true car love.

When Loretta died, I was sad too. But then got very excited when the prospect of a new baby came into focus....

I had this....Loretta
(but a bit more rust, door barely there, floor about a second from caving in...)

To this....

Did you get stranded in traffic? That's always fun. When I was in high school, I was driving this POS Pontiac, and the thing blew a pushrod through the engine block while I was in the middle of traffic in Revere. Good times.

Quite a picture of the car, Dag.

Think someone was just looking for an excuse to show off her yellow tank top in front of Star Market.

That's not just any Star Market, that's the Dark Star.

I admire your spirit .
I do so love wandering around a junkyard with a toolkit.

Hey, let's all go to the junk yard! When my car's out of the shop, I'll pick you two up.

Yes! And, egg salad sandwiches too. Of course, there must be sweet iced tea and budweiser as well.

Bye, baby!
