Saturday August 26, 2006...................

It was with a heavy heart that we said goodbye to the Olds today.
The 1984 Olds Cutlass Calais as many of you know belonged to my brother Doug and I kept it as Doug always loved the Cutlass (this was his second one)
I have been talking of selling it for years and finally decided to put a for sale sign on it thinking that it would be months or hopefully years before anyone inquired well little did I know we had 2 calls the first week the sign was up. The olds has sat in our driveway for 3.5 years and hasn't even ran once, with a new battery, some gas, some air in all 4 tires and 5 minutes and it was running like the beast it is. As soon as I heard it run, I knew I wasn't ready to say goodbye.

The guy who bought it didn't impress me much, he seemed to be from the FAR NORTH if you know what I mean but he has a love for the car and seems to know his way around it (Yes, I was watching) so atleast I know he will take good care of it or I will kick his A$$.

Well I have said it before and I will say it again that car is a guy magnet. So if Shaun dumps me now I am in big trouble.
The only good thing that came out of this is again we have room for another car in the driveway so please come visit so our driveway doesn't look so empty.

So with tears in my eyes I waved as it drove off into the rising sun this morning.
