I am seriously the most sappy mushy person on earth, I know...
Here's a photo to remember the good times. Here we were stopped at "Cowboy Camp" on the way back from Mendocino two years ago. (No, I didn't find any cowboys there):
Thus officially begins the Age of Avalon. May we have as many years together. I think the Avalon and I have officially bonded now after the ~2000 mile drive to Wyoming and back.

It really looked good in that picture!
I know it's hard to say goodbye - I went through the same thing when I sold my first car, a 1986 Toyota Corolla. It had 206K miles, it had taken me every where (and I only bought it at 137K). Glad to ehar that you have officially bonded with the new one! :-)

It looked good when I sold it! Super clean, hadn't been that clean since 1995. ;-) In hindsight, I think it's very odd that I never ever drove the Taurus out of state. Obviously I wasn't nearly as much of an adventurer til recently!
I understand your feelings exactly. I shall never stop missing Hilda Honda:)
Hmmmm,
Perhaps Shakespeare had it wrong...I think it is the Good that we tend to remember.
I am pretty sure there were some blogs about mechanics, funky noises, and not sure the Taurus could be depended on on a big trip?
Besides...I love the "Age of Avalon" sounds like the title of a good book!
(maybe a trilogy)

Yeah, in those last few moments it's easy to overlook the many many bad times. ;-)
