finally gone...

As most of you know, i have been living without a car for over a year.  But the car kept fading in and out of my life...

First it was stolen... then repeared 3 months later.

then i gave the car to the wonderful miss rainbolt and she drove it for quite a while (9 months or so) ... then it finally died...

It has been sitting in the parking lot at the marina for several weeks, but Saturday morning at 9.30 it finally left my life.  I am sad to see it go but glad i don't have to worry about it any more.  

I first bought the car (a green 1996 SL2) in may of 2005 with 75000 miles  and since then i have used it to pull my my first sailboat (a 17' hobie cat) and move across the country, plus many other hightlights... like camping, skiing, kayaking, etc.  

on the day that i handed over the car i reverse didn't work, the battery was dead,  one of the rear windows was missing & replaced with plexiglass, it was almost stalling all the time and rusted like a true michigan car.... not to mention had over 200,000 miles on it... I would say that it treated me well... 

If you are wondering... i actually had someone pay be for the car... they gave be a grand total of $75 dollars for the car.  not to shabby... now i am truely car free!!!!
