Well, it would have been nice...

My sympathies. Had it a name?

[jhetley.livejournal.com]

Haven't named a car since the '63 Mercedes 220S -- The Rusty Baron. It was in worse condition than this one, but I could evade inspection due to army servitude...

Should add that you have met this car. So you know somewhat of its age.

I feel your automotive pain. Our last mini-van died the final death less than a year after we'd finally succeeded in paying it off.

This one didn't owe us much, having been purchased used about 10 years ago. But it _would_ have been nice...

Oh, dear. Was it a Feral Pothole?

[jhetley.livejournal.com]

Slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, otherwise known as life in Maine. As I noted elsewhere, this was a '95 model, and had 103,000 miles on it. Some days, I feel that way myself. Not worth several thousand dollars of work to pass inspection.

Is good that it was that and not a Feral Pothole or Errant Black Ice.
