We waved a relieved, but nostalgic goodbye this cool and rainy morning as our broken down van was hauled away from our side yard. I'm sure our neighbors are happy to see it go, and we finally have our yard back! It had been sitting in that spot for almost one year, and slowly growing that green moss all over (inside and out). It served us well though, we'd logged thousands of miles on that odometer from the many cross country tours over the last few years. And we never rented a moving truck for our last move, just loaded up it's belly a bunch of times. In fact E graduated from a rear facing carseat to a front facing one in that van. Lot's of memories, a lot of you probably rode in it or drove it too. Goodbye old gray van.
good-bye pedro van. i bet it is nice to have your yard back again :). i like that you took pix of this.
ReplyDeletedid you donate it? where was it taken?
ReplyDeleteWe just junked it (junkmycar.com). We tried to get it fixed last summer but ended up paying an $80 diagnostic fee for them to tell us they didn't know what was wrong and couldn't duplicate the problem. When the guy came to get it he said "Now, this car will be recycled." Not sure what that means, maybe used for spare parts or fixed and re-used...
ReplyDeletethis is an old van, as i think even I may have ridden in it to vancouver??? maybe...hmm...
