RIP Vicky – 1989 to 2007

“The Inheritance” (the car I got from my grandfather) is no more. I drove “Vicky” (a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria) to work today; it caught on fire when I got out of it.

I am sorry I didn’t have the presence of mind to take a picture while the car was on fire (that would have been cool) but I was too busy trying not to freak out.

Here she is being towed away:

    Excuse me, anonymous, but Vicky was a girl! I’m so sorry to hear of her passing, Lanna. A befitting final act for a grand, gorgeous, dramatic dame. RIP, Vicky.

    Glad you’re okay! Bummer about your car!

    I think that Vicky was transgendered – because I think of him as a him and as a her. Crazy.

    I’m so sorry to hear about Vicky! And so glad to hear you’re okay. What a crazy and exciting morning that must have been at your office. ;)
