One more day until I leave for a weekend in Colorado. And not a moment too soon—I'm feeling really burnt right now with the workload and just keeping up with my life. Oh, and the car is dead…but long live the car! The Corolla has bitten the dust and will soon be on its way to Pick & Pull {sniff}, but I got one lucky break in the whole situation. My mechanic had a genuine little-old-lady car she was looking to sell for a customer. So ladies and gentlemen, I present my new car, a lovely grey '86…Ford Escort.
