Goodbye old friend

One of the things I decided to give up in our move to the new house was my truck. We've been recycling things and trying to be more earth friendly in our lives and since my truck has been burning oil for some time now and recently had started to leak oil, and since we moved to a house that isn't on a steep hill like our condo was, I decided that the time was right to get rid of my old truck. Here's the last shot I took of it:
I was going to try and sell it to someone but the more I thought about it the more I felt bad about trying to pawn off on someone a truck that burnt oil, leaked oil, and that needed an alignment. So I donated it to the National Kidney Foundation. If they fix it up and resell it, then that's cool with me. If they strip it and sell it for parts, then that's cool too.

To tell the truth I'm glad to be shed of it. I don't need the expense of operating it anymore. And I don't need to be polluting the atmosphere and contributing to the current climate crisis by driving it. We now live in a more residential area so I can walk to some places I need to go and before I got rid of the truck I bought a bike and I can ride it when I want. I can also take the bus to some destinations here in town and if I need to I can take Sparky to work and I can borrow her car. All in all the extra walking will do me good, as will the biking, and I feel a lot better about not polluting the planet with my old truck.

I'll miss it for a time but I'll get used to not having it. Farewell old Nissan XE, you served me well for over 270, 000 miles.
