Gee, That Was Fun (As Well As A Waste Of Money...)

Today was the day that the little project car of mine, "Inga", my 1978 264 Volvo, was hauled away. Why, exactly? Because even though I had managed to get it running fairly well (in spite of the model being a bit of a thoroughbred, and you know what that means), it turned out that the frame had excessive amounts of rust, especially the front end.
Yet, even though I knew this was beyond repair, I still held out. In the end, though, it was best that she was hauled off. As she was being pulled up the deck of the wrecker, you could hear the frame popping and moaning; it was simply too late.
I still have my 1984 Blazer, though. Still want a Volvo... just have to wait.
