Unfortunately my van is too new (1998) and gets according to the government 19 miles per gallon. The government should drive it full time because I only get 16 miles per gallon. At any rate it did not qualify and so I continue to be one driver in a monster mini-van.........I like using my bike more anyway.

Also drivers into the thousands of miles, we have said goodbye to Big Red (Volvo wagon), Blossom (67 VW bug), and Azzie (79 Volvo sedan), the Ghost (78 Mazda GLC wagon) and Big Green (Volvo wagon). Each has a secure place in family history. Thanks for sharing a portion of your family's history! What a thoughtful piece, George.

If the picture of Big Blue is recent, her body and paint have held up remarkedly well for a senior vehicle. And implicit in the engaging account is that Big Blue provided good proection for occupants when there were accidents. If correct, chalk up another Plus for the then Chrysler car company.
