So long, old friend...

Grant.
Well, after 10+ years, I am no longer the owner of a purple 1994 Chevy S-10. It served me well for over 174,000 miles. It was the first "big ticket" item I ever bought on my own. I has taken me all over the Midwest and has been the forum for many interesting discussions, much MUCH music and a few clove cigarettes... It was a fantastic vehicle and I will honestly miss it.
I sold it today to a young migrant from Texas. He was planning on fixing it up (aka Pimping it out) and seemed genuinely excited to buy it. His whole family was involved in the purchase...his parents, his sister and a very little girl who could have been his girl all came to see it, kick the tires, and eventually drive away with it.
So long, old friend...may you serve your new owner well...

NO WAY!
Well, I'm happy and sad for you, Grant. You've had that thing forever (it's been forever since I worked at that dealership).
I'm glad it has a good home, however.

At least it wasn't the Barbie truck.
