Tomorrow is another day

I had to say good by to a old friend. Yep Scarlett is no more. No it wasn't the broken out back window (done by some of the hoods darlings) No its was a combo of stuff. Just too much to put her back on the road. I didn't figure out how many miles we've been together, but in the four years we've been to help out the displaced in Baton Rouge Louisiana after the hurricanes. Been to Chicago couple times, Down to Louisville to see the Queen,out to Denver to see Stevie in concert. People and myself couldn't believe that we would go that far. Yeah what was I thinking.
So after 4 years,a starter,tires,fuel pump,brakes,oil gauge,exhaust,and a couple of oil changes its good bye.
The guy from the junk yard came to get her..hooked her up to the truck and was just pulling off onto the alley when there was a crack and the sound of metal on metal. The little crack in the frame broke and Scarlett folded up on herself. What a fitting end.

Tear. She was a good car. I drove her to Chicago many times, to Omaha, and to Ann Arbor. There is a special place in my heart for her, too. Although, public transit is better for the environment;)
