So long, farewell, and hello

We said goodbye to our little '91 Hyundai Excel today. Sold it for $60, where it will have one last fling with fame as a derby car. Ciao, my little rusty friend.

And as of tomorrow morning, we will have purchased (with financial assistance, obviously) our next little shitbox: a 1996 Ford Escort. This one, thankfully, is rust-free and has a fifth gear -- and significantly less boy-crap in it. I've been told I'm not allow to drive this one to Mexico, either... though I'm hoping to have a least one or two weekend getaways with it.

But where shall I plan a trip to? Montreal? Niagara Falls? Elora? Oh, the places I'll go...

BTW, much like I expected, the casino showed us no love this evening. So I'll just have to go back to watching the post for that random cheque worth a small fortune. I wish it'd hurry up.
