The run is officially over.  I sold my Honda Accord yesterday and it was a little sad to see it drive off.  I purchased the car right after I graduated high school and it had 19,000 miles on it.  As of yesterday, it had 162,000 miles and still going strong.  I am a big fan of Honda's, they last forever with little maintenance.  The car was good to me and I am going to miss it.  I can take comfort in the fact that I sold it to a family friend, so it is going to a good person.  I hope it continues to run well for years to come, which I am sure it will.

 The most memorable moment I had with the car was in Bear Valley.  I drove to mike's cabin and there was a bunch of snow.   I tried to drive up the long driveway without chains and I made it about 80% up the driveway when I totally lost traction and slipped all the way back down the hill into a snow-bank.  I then dug the car out of the snow bank, put chains on, and drove up the driveway.

 Here is the last picture before it was driven off.  Enjoy!

I'm sure Carie would let you come down to wash it every other week. So the seperation won't be so painful.

I know the feeling. Hey, you won the bet that we made to see which of us would keep our car the longest. How much do I owe you? Smile

I think you owe me lunch. But to pay it off, you will have to fly to Denver. Smile
