Craig and His Fantastic List

So a couple weeks ago my little red Ford Escort stopped running, or, I guess it didn't so much stop running as it just didn't start back up after work one day. It sat at work for a whole week while we were moving into our new house and had bigger fish to fry. Then, when my buddy needed his van back, we towed the little Escort down the hill to the nearest auto shop.

They informed me that the head gasket had blown and and the Ignition Control Module was toast. It would cost $1200 to get her back on the road. I loved that car, but I didn't love her $1200 worth, and she wasn't worth $1200. So I decided to sell her for much, much less.

If you leave my blog remembering nothing else, remember this; if you have a car that doesn't run and you just want to unload it, put it on Craigslist! I posted my car with the picture above at 6:48 pm and by 7:50 pm it was being towed away as I clutched five crisp Jacksons in my south paw - infinately better than paying to have it taken away!

For those of you who knew my first car, the back Celebrity Wagon, you'll know that I'm becoming an expert on getting rid of my not-so-trusty cars after they've decided there is nothing left for which to live. Perhaps you'll see a new ride for Boone on this blog shortly! Keep your eye out.
