And that's all she wrote....

I'll miss you, but God we have fun.

New vehicle...
Sep. 5th, 2010 09:16 amSo, I've finally shed the last vestiges of my life with Syd. The Blazer had served me well and faithfully, but slowly but surely, was falling apart. It's not that surprising. With 175,000 miles on her, and some really hard use, she was bound to show her age. Add to that, she was a reminder of a horrible time in my life and really...it was time to pass her on.
So...I traded her in and bought a little silver....minivan....Yeah... a little silver minivan. (And the first person who asks about kids is going to get deleted, I swear to freakin' Bob....) It's a Nissan Quest, and it's really cute! I think it's a she, and I still need a name for her, but I'm happy. She's pretty zippy and responsive and OMG more comfy than the Blazer. WAY more comfy. Considering we routinely haul three adults (one of whom is screamingly claustrophobic), two kids, seven-foot tent poles, nine-foot spears, swords and armor, along with assorted camping accoutrement, it really just seemed like a better idea than another SUV. Also, seriously, much easier to load stuff in to the van, with the lower deck.
Over all, I'm happy.
Now, to go put an SCA sticker on the window.
