I bought it new on Mother's Day 1993, and I drove it clear across the country....in 2000. I have gone camping in it, hauled rocks with it, taken Lou in it and the cat in it with me. For some reason it is hard for me to let go.....of it.Neomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483213915316279993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589973603624712149.post-40554916922223875862008-07-17T10:23:00.000-04:002008-07-17T10:23:00.000-04:00Gosh Nea I'm just so glad your OK.
