End of a very long chapter in my life

[mbarrick]

I owned this car for 4948 days. In that time I put 99,019 Km on it. Over the course of the last 15 years, I would have spent over three complete months in this car. This car has been with me almost the entire time I've lived in Vancouver. It's outlasted a number of relationships including two engagements (one of which proceeded all the way through to a divorce). I've brought home 5 cats with this car. It's carried me to funerals, the hospital, weddings, festivals, and exotic places like Drumheller. I used to drive this car to the Twilight Zone, the Town Pump, Graceland, and other things all long gone. The man (my father) who helped me buy it and who helped me redo the now dilapidated upholstery died over ten years ago. I have so much history with this car that I could go on for volumes.

So did you sell it, or did it finally die?

Fraser is taking it. If he hadn't I would have scapped it. It still runs, but I haven't used it in over six months now. It is time to let it go.

Yup. I'm sure you drove it at least once.

Heh...when I think of all the people who've been in my car...damn...so many random passengers!

goodbye wonder wagon- glad i got to meet thee before the retirement!

[mbarrick.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you did, too. This will be of those things where my friends will be forever split in my mind - those that rode in the Wonder Wagon and those that didn't.

Yeah, but now (when my student loan is paid off) I will finally get that PT Cruiser I was talking about 5 years ago. And guaranteed I'll be driving it for the next 20 years at least.
