R.I.P MY P.O.S

charity | dead car

Well, the nice man with the tow truck just left with my little car ~ ol’ Possie is off to do some good, I hope.

Just before New Years I decided to donate my little work horse to a women’s and children’s shelter for the tax break and they’ve finally been able to fit us into their pick up schedule. I’m actually quite impressed as the time frame I’d been given was between 8am & noon. Anyone who’s ever had to wait like this knows how that usually goes! But, they arrived just before 9: 30am! Not too shabby!

I have to admit that I’m kinda sad. I didn’t expect to feel anything beyond relief that it’s something I can check off the list in preparing to move. But ya, I’m kinda sad to see it go. Not weepy-teary sad, but still.

My friend came out as the guy nearly had it secured on the truck and made a joke that I should “pull out the camera”. It occured to me that I had that cheap webcam in my pocket! *sigh* But, sadly, it was out of juice, so I’ll just add one that I’d taken back in Big Spring. It would have been great to snap a pic of it on this gray and drizzley day ~ my poor little thing perched up on the truck. But, we did say goodbye; the kid standing next to me and waving, saying “Bye-bye car”. And, sadness aside, it is a check on my list and in a moment I’ll be taking us out to get the rest of today’s “stuff” done.

So, farewell, my piece of shit, Pontiac. You served us well........until you died...............

LOL Spooky...this POS actually

Sassys

looks nicer than my POS! I got a bumper sticker from my daughter this year that has a picture of President Bush pointing his finger and saying "Why is our children not learning?" Now my niece says to me "Oh I would never put ANY bumper stickers on my car" To which I responded "HAVE YOU SEEN MY CAR???" But all that aside I do love my POS! It may look like crap, but it drives quite well! Good for you, donating it was the best thing you could do...what are you driving now?

nothing!

for the duller-than-dull drive to la-la-land I'll be renting a car. From there, with any luck, I'll have the bus to get me around when I need to! Gotta love big cities!
Cool bumper sticker! I love them, but only buy one when I find one really good like that. An oldie I wish I'd had for my pos said "Urban assault vehicle"!
But, I'km soooo glad I never sold you that car! LOL As soon as the window broke I knew it would be a bad idea! Imagine the days and nights you would have spent cursing my very exsistance!

sorry about your car Spooky

I knew you said it was giving you trouble. Well, as all things go, so do cars....I know this all to well as my hubbys work van has shot craps(engine) and he is now using my car. So all I can say is that it's a great thing that I only work a block and a half away.

no kidding, ammorton

Only a block and a half away??? No wonder you were still able to get to work during those ice storms! I love living close to work! It makes life a lot easier, doesn't it? Hopefully your hubby's van problems will be fixed soon. I am truly hating being without a car, but once we're in LA there will be busses galore and I can handle THAT!

Isn't it, though?

If I'm lucky, we'll be there by the end of next week! Right now I'm putting all the details together - child care and a job all. I've even been pointed in the direction of some places that assist with daycare expenses and hopefully will land one of many day jobs I've found on craigslist! I really wish you and pussy willow were going to be there sooner! But, I'll just be patient. Who knows, by the time ya'll make it I might have some fab job on a tv show to celebrate with you! Let's hope!
