Well, today was finally the end of an era. A heartbreaker, considering it's Valentine's Day.
We received our 2007 vehicle registration in the mail last week, and realized it was time to make a final decision on the old Ford Escort (as seen above when it was all shiny and new.)
We decided once and for all to donate the vehicle. As damaged as it was, it would fetch barely anything from a salvage yard, and it would cost way too much to fix, so we picked out a charity and made arrangements with them to transfer the vehicle.
Today, I handed over the title, and updated it with the DMV and insurance company. So, with that, my first car is now gone.
We got it in November 1999 with 9538 miles. The odometer today read 201,835 miles. It lived a good life, and survived many trips to remote places - New York, San Antonio, a few dozen times to New Orleans, Key West, Charleston, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and many other places. It was a good car. And I'm feeling quite a bit maudlin today with it now being gone.

You mean you're not driving that car the 600+ plus miles to DC, and then 600+ back?
Um, no, since it isn't 2003 anymore.
This time, the truck makes the trip.
