07/17/2003: "Say Goodbye Jeep..."

Well,

Much as I loved her and she has been a great vehicle, I have to let my Jeep go. The repo-man is gonna take her one night real soon. Well, if I leave it parked in my driveway, which I haven't been! Yup, I did the math and being out of work for so long now I just can't keep making the payments, so I talked to the finance company, they weren't willing to work with me, so I told them to come and get it...

Kinda sad, I really loved that thing, it went places you'd never think a vehicle could go, it rode great, I beat the crap out of it for 3 years and never had a single problem with it... But I have to put all my resources into saving my house, that's the main priority now. I'm getting an old (1985) toyota corolla from my cousin Pete for nothing and I'll drive that around until it dies. He also has a really clean low miles '87 Monte LS that needs a transmission, for 400 bucks, so I'm gonna take that and put a tranny in it when I have the money, as I've driven rear wheel drive american cars all my life and that's what I prefer. I know how to fix them and I like they way they handle and ride, guess I'm old fashioned, huh?

Anyway, here's a couple pictures of the Jeep out on a 4-wheelin' trip a couple years ago, but she looks exactly the same now. This is taking a rest and exploring, and here's starting off a steep descent over the peak of a foothill. And here she is during the blizzard we had this past winter, resting and full of snow. I'm gonna miss that thing.

K, I gotta go take care of stuff, bye...
