Rest in Pieces

Lois died.



Remember Lois?

A short synopsis of her death (in Hyatt's words):

"She overheated on the way to Dookie. Cracked the headgasket which ruined the aluminum block. She was towed to Wallan, stripped of her registration and is now sitting in the junkyard."

We got a refund on the remainder of her registration (whoo hoo for ~ $250) but unfortunately we won't be able to re-sell her in December which leaves us out $1000. Such is life and sometimes life sucks.

Most importantly, we're on foot. Thank goodness we live in the city and not 2 hours away. We can still take the trams or walk to the few destinations we visit.

A short obituary by me:
Lois, you will not be forgotten. We will miss your squeaky fanbelt, broken backseat window and shoddy paint job. May you be reincarnated as a shiny, black Chevrolet Corvette.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations in the name of the Lois Frobose Memorial Scholarship for American-Australian Fulbright Recipients.

Until tomorrow,

Pleased to Introduce.... Lois

This is Lois. Lois the Lantra


Lois is our sweeeeet ride - she gets 8 km/liter (if you figure out the m2g pat yourself on the back). She hauled us all the way to Sydney and back this past weekend (SEVERAL POSTS ABOUT THE PAST 5 DAYS ARE COMING UP- get pumped).

This is a disgruntled Australian driver

Much more content to come - like I said. get pumped.

Cheers,
FroBuzz

UPDATE: Lois gets 13 km/liter. I'll let you do the math on the mpg yourself.
