I drove Rusty from 2000 to 2016 when something went thud (serpentine belt…) as I backed out of the drive (Jul 2016) - right in the middle of my busy summer camp season.
My love for Rusty never waned even though – in Big D - her A/C and heat conked 11 years ago. (I’m hardy.) She only leaks at her cargo doors when it rains. New front brakes, tune-up and oil change, but suddenly her needs outran my financial and mechanical abilities, and I needed wheels, fast. So, alas – after wrestling with the idea awhile, I’m going to sell her ’92 extended, plush, curtained, 7-seater-with-rear-heater self.
I’m so sad, but must show her the respect she deserves, and offer her first, here, hoping one of you North Texans will want to adopt her and tow her lovingly away to her place in the sun.
