Rembering Arnie

I have some sad news to report: Arnie is no longer with us….Go ahead, take a moment to digest the news, it is still hard for me to say. Arnie is gone. But we have to face the facts and realize that Arnie was awful old and he would want us to be happy.

For as much crap as we gave Arnie, he was the best road tripping vehicle that I have ever owned. He might have been ugly, but he was a lot of fun!So, through all the tears, I wanted to take some time to remember Arnie: the good times we had. Please post any Arnie stories that you have as well, it helps with the grieving process.

This is Arnie as we were leaving for the dealership. He didn't know this would be his last trip. He had gotten so old he was not cleaning himself.




Arnie parked next the new ride. I think at this point he knew something was going on, because he refused to look at me.

Arnie you will be missed, you served us all very well!

The new ride is a 2009 Ford Edge from Dave Sinclair Ford.



We have not picked out a name yet, we are on 'C.' For those who don't know, we do name all of our cars and in alphabetical order. It started with my folks when they got married and we have carried it on. the Camry is Be Be. We have, for the past 6 cars, picked up some beer and would drink until a name would arise, most of the time we would have a DD and take a road trip. Many people have been apart of the naming game, so once a name is picked, I will let you all know.

Thanks for all those who contributed to Arnie's memory.

Keep on Keeping on!
