Sad day for Jethro. :(

[Jethro Bodine]

I knew this day was coming but never actually thought I'd have to face it but my old pooning vehicle finally bit the dust.
Maybe it is fitting given I've pretty well retired from the hobby but it was still sad to get the news.

What's a pooning vehicle you ask? Well, I have 3 vehicles. A nice car, a truck and an old beater car. When I would see an SP I never used my nice car or truck becasue they have personalized plates, which can give me away. The "beater" was a very non-descript sedan with regular plates. Very much the type of car that would just blend in where ever I parked it.
Perfect for the anonymity I needed in this hobby.
She was acting up lately and I knew she needed some work. Today I took her to my mechanic and he called me with the bad news. Basically she needs way too much work and it just doesn't make sense to spend it on this old car.
I've decided that it's time to let her go as I have seldom need of her anymore but the memories that car and I share. :eyebrows:
Going to go out tonight, start her up one more time, throw in a cassette (yes I said cassette), have a couple of beers and say good bye.
Will call a local charity tomorrow and they'll tow her away for me.

Cheers

So so sad, I feel for you my car is nearing the end at 25 years old. It is not worth putting the money into it. However I plan to drive her to the end.
She has very good memories and sentimental value too, as a old client purchased her for me.

Yes she plays cassettes to. May our cars reat in peace.

Does she have a name?

Men name their cars don't they?

LOL, ya we do . I've had 3 cars in my life. The first was a Pontiac Tempest I named Tempestra (I know super inspired) my second a 92 Civic hatchback was named Emma and my 06 Civic is black so I named it Felicia for Felicia Hardy aka The Black Cat from Spiderman.

Never a good day when a msn has to say goodbye to a car. I feel for you Jethro. But I hope you can find a new POS car to poon with that you will love just as much

Must be nice to have a love machine car, but there are other options. U can always park like 2 blocks away or just use transit.

I've tried transit for car dates, but they just didn't work out too well

I'd argue, but we all know she's right...
