With a heavy heart I say goodbye to my old friend...
She's been a part of the family for a decade now, but I refuse to be one of those guys that lets them sit and rot. Haven't registered her in 2 years and the weather is taking its toll on the paint. SHe fired right up and climbed proudly up onto the trailer, just like she was ready to go for a ride.
The good news is that she went back to her original family and will get treated they way she deserves. The grand father bought her new in 71, she was passed down through the kids to the oldest grandson who drove her through high school until he needed a MPG rig for college. I supplied a Honda and he signed over the truck and we made an agreement then and there that if I were to look at letting her go, he was to be the first call. Goodbye Screamin' you will be missed.
