Eso, si. Es una lástima, pero mi hijo aceptó el accidente filosoficamente!

Oh no! I am literally upset over this. Happy that no one was hurt but oh man that sucks.

Thanks for the commiseration, Jim. The fellow who collided with the Ranchero did not say one word to my boy - didn't even approach him. He just stood at a distance and waited for the Highway Patrol... What is wrong with people?

Now, that is such a shame. It's just not right.

Aw, well, my boy will always have a project. He loves the challenge and the work of restoring old thing, but doesn't get particularly attached to the objects themselves. He is just that kind of guy.

😥😩 What's even more humiliating is to be dragged down the road behind a vehicle of lesser glory like a slave taken in war. All the adventures, the romances, the, dare I say, loads of yard waste taken to the dump, rolled into a lifetime of memories. Que lastima!

A lovely old thing. But there will be others. In this world, there is always something / someone that needs rescuing.

Poor ℰ𝓁 𝒥ℯ𝒻ℯ! He had 𝙖 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙨. And 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣! Some people say he was 𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙙. Alas…. in the end he was 𝙗𝙪𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙛𝙛. Sorry about that, Sharron! I gave in to my silly nature. Truly sorry about that old car…❣️Especially because my nephew put so much work into it!! This was a great tribute!!

It’s amazing how we get attached to our old drives. I did, anyway. When the time came to part, I was asked whether I wanted a moment. I thought it was totally appropriate.!

So sad to see that vehicle towed away. How come it causes me to imagine myself being towed away at the end of my life.:)

urrggh. What an image.. At our age we begin to think weird stuff like that. I'd like my body to be in a small skiff in flames out in the bay.
