This! Is an ex-! Chrysler!

The Deathbox, appropriately or ironically enough depending on how you look at it, is dead. Very, very dead. The engine is a coagulated lump. Dead for a ducat, dead.

It was a good run, my Pimpmobile. The beach trip with Shadowcaptain just wouldn't have happened without it. Sadly, I never did christen the backseat. Ah well.

My father, complex figure that he is, just went and bought me another car, a 1998 Toyota Corrola, blue, very sweet, much safer, quite comfortable. By all accounts, it's a much, much better car.

Still... I'm going to miss that red covertible, for all its troubles. If I didn't have play rehearsal all the rest of this month, I'd propose a wake (i.e., an excuse for drunken RM revelry).

Wow, I just never expected my midlife crisis to be over so soon. I'd better get back to work on my novels...

The good news is that the 98 Corolla is an insanely reliable car. Boring, but reliable. How many miles?

Somewhere between 80,000 and 90,000 miles. Yeah, this'll last me seven years, at least. It's an awesome car, no doubt. Still, I can't see Hunter S. Thompson in a blue 98 Corolla...

No, you see Hunter S. Thompson by the side of the road, hitching a ride from a blue 98 Corolla, because his incredibly hot red convertible is busted.

Cool! The insanely reliable, and its driver, the reliably insane. :)
