"C."
So I had a friend in High School named "C." He had this car. C would somehow take the keys out of the ignition -- WHILE DRIVING, mind you -- and throw the keys to his passenger. He would then say something like, "so, now what?"
Yeah. He's my hero.
Anywho, this car is a beast. I'm a little nervous about the mileage. It seems a little "trucho" (i.e., phony). But if the mileage is legit, ooo baby, that's good stuff:http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&csDlId=&csDgId=&listingId=55529184&listingRecNum=40&criteria=prMx%3D4000%26sf1Dir%3DASC%26prMn%3D0%26stkTyp%3DU%26rd%3D100000%26mlgId%3D28860%26crSrtFlds%3DstkTypId-feedSegId-pseudoPrice-freeHistRptId-mlgId%26zc%3D71101%26rn%3D0%26PMmt%3D0-0-0%26stkTypId%3D28881%26sf2Dir%3DDESC%26sf1Nm%3Dmiles%26sf2Nm%3Dprice%26freeHistRptId%3D34624%26rpp%3D50%26feedSegId%3D28705&aff=national
"TK421, why aren't you at your post?"
"This little one isn't worth the effort."
Actually Ben, it is.
It doesn't say how many owners it has had, but it's $200 above the retail book value and has crazy low mileage (under 40K). It does come from WV, so there may be salt issues n' stuff.
Also, doesn't it remind you of one of the storm troopers from Star Wars?
The Millennium Wagon.
Oh...my...goodness... It's a wagon.
For some reason, I have a spiritual bond with station wagons. Maybe it's because we had one and I am told I would pray for it every night (God: bless mommy, daddy, and car); maybe it's because it's a dying breed; or maybe it's because it looks like "The Falcon" -- slender in the front, party in the back.
Whatever the reason, if I had $4,000.00 in my "bolsillo" ... and I lived anywhere near Florida ... I would make her mine.
When vacuums meet vans.
Is that snow or faded paint? Maybe it's faded snow.
Either way, it has one previous owner, low miles, and it's worth $400.00 OVER the retail book value. In other words, she looks good on paper.
Now on to her more subjective components...
My parents referred to this van -- back in the day -- as the "Dust-buster Van." This is because of its uncanny resemblance to the worlds most important invention.
Soy Cordobes!
Okay, friends, this one is special. Not only does it have miles of records (i.e., it was well maintained), but it is named after one of my favorite cities in the world: Cordoba, Argentina.
Okay, the Chrysler peeps probably had not thought of Cordoba, Argentina when they designed her Chewie, but still...I love Cordoba.
And look at the spokes on the wheels.... So classy!
