As is my tradition, I need to give tribute where tribute is due and say goodbye to my old truck as I welcome the new one.  So...sit back and take a moment and appreciate the life of the old Tundra captured forever for posterity...


My first view of you when you still lived in South Carolina...


Our first trek into the jungle...


We nearly died.


But you came through.

It was an a auspicious start.


You definitely hauled your share of people and stuff...


"Christmas on the Streets"


Carnival...


You made a great table when the situation called for it...


Road trips!


More road trips...


Buying gas from a guy with jug...


And even more road trips...


We went some fun places together...


You served me well...


You always looked good...


You went out in a blaze of glory...


You may be getting a new lease on life...


But you did still crash down the side of a mountain...


And so...I guess I've moved on...


"Bigger and beefier" as a friend said....


But I still miss you.  Especially your electric roll-down back window...


So good-bye Tundra 2004 version.  You were a good truck. 

And your tires never fell off...

That comment only counts with trucks right? LOL

Almost dying signifies an auspicious start? Do you know what auspicious means?

Ken said...

Yes I know what auspicious means. And the living through the almost dying was the auspicious part...

LOL Ok. I'll give you that. I like the bootlegged gas part.
