End of a Legend


It's a sad day here. I know I was supposed to do Home Improvement Roundup, but I wanted to write about this instead.
While to some of you it may seem silly, to me I've lost a friend. The only vehicle I have ever liked has been taken to the scrapyard. My 86 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with a 360 Big Block has lost the war so to speak. I'm very sad. I loved that truck. It was the best vehicle I've ever had, but we decided it was too much money and time to fix her.
We went through a lot together. Races, accidents, dark country roads. The Jeep saved my life once. I was in an accident while pregnant with K that could've been very serious if I had been in any other vehicle. It was all the steel. She never lost a race though she weighed 3 and 3/4 tons. She could rip Hell up by the roots then run so fast the devil himself couldn't have caught her.
I cried when she was loaded on the trailer to leave. Seems silly, doesn't it? I kind of felt the need to commemorate her on her so she'll live on forever. I think it's possible that she was actually crying too. Goodness knows, she never wanted to stop going even when broken and bruised.

My New Diamond

Happy Tuesday!

Guess what I've done now?! You'll never believe it.

I have become a normal person. No more buying $100 crap, possessed cars. Now we have a car payment. That's right, duckies. We went and bought a new, almost, car over the weekend. I've been dying for one. The closest I've ever had is 1994. No more working on cars, no more wondering if it's going to make it back home, no more wondering if it's actually going to start. I'm so excited. A little scared about the car payment, but excited.



Look at it. Isn't it so pretty?! It's a diamond edition GMC Jimmy/Envoy. A 2001 but with only 48,000 miles. Who would know it's not brand new? I love it. It's got diamond motifs all over the interior, and look at those cute little diamonds on the tailgate. I adore having a truck again especially since I live in Redneck Village.




I've always loved big vehicles. I'd drive a tractor trailer everyday if I thought I could get away with it. I just don't feel comfortable in a car.

Well, I'm off to make stuff so I can sell stuff so I can afford Timmy the Jimmy Diamond. (Don't you just love what we named him?)
