Goodbye Explorer-Goodbye Past:
My 1996 4x4 Ford Explorer is gone forever...Someone just drove off with it for salvage...I will miss you...That car symbolizes so many things for me...It's the first car I bought on payments...cost...$7,000...$10,400 after the 5-years of perfect on-time payment that eventually led to the Credit-Score that allowed me to eventually buy my house...The house I needed to buy when my first born was about to come into the world and the 2-bedroom duplex was just too small for my wife, mother-in-law, sister and son Johnny...That Explorer got me to Arizona and back just two weeks after I signed the papers, and at the time I remember thinking how risky it was taking such a long and important trip. I had to go because I couldn't be away from my beloved new family that I started in Arizona. One year apart was enough for me, so it was worth the risk...hmmm...risk a car break down and wait...or have faith in God and know everything will be all good...new family home with me...where I know they'll be safe...wife next to me when I sleep...and son...here in Michigan...where the doctors and specialists are plenty...No choice at all really...12-years later and almost nothing but preventative maintenance in costs, I say GOODBYE MY BEAUTIFUL EXPLORER...THANKS FOR THE MANY WINTERS OF SOUND SAFE DRIVING...MAY THE FUTURE BE AS GOOD TO ME AS YOU WERE...EMOTIONALLY YOURS...
