We retired "Red Car Red Car" this weekend. She was a good car that has been in the family since 1994. Papa John bought her brand new back in 1994. He drove her for several years before giving her to Uncle Bill to drive while he was in High School. In 2000, she came to live with us. Scott drove her all three years we lived in Pensacola until she returned to Papa John for safe keeping while we were stationed in Okinawa. A three year tour turned to six and Scott and Red Car Red Car were reunited at last in the summer of 2009. With 186,000 miles and a weird expensive sounding thunking noise, we decided to let her go. Rather than sell her, Red Car Red Car was donated to the Purple Heart Organization where she will be sold at auction and her proceeds donated to the brave men and women wounded in action!
She served us well and will be missed!

Oh, farewells for one that served well, and will bless others in passing from your family. 21 Gun Salute??
Kelly...your posts always bring a smile to my face and a longing in my heart to be near you again. HUGS! Heidi Mooney
With phenominal mood lighting/tactical lamps, it's very likely to go for original showroom values. In all seriousness though, can you believe how good it looks for all the abuse it took?
Farewell "Red Car, Red Car"! I'll never forget finding you! Thanks for your outstanding service to our family!! Mom
