Kinja'd!!!

Much like the thickness of my hair, the sun has set on my Tercel stage of my life.

An ode to the lunchbox:

[Clears throat]

... Bye.

Thanks for reading.

I think I’ve posted enough about it for you all to last several lifetimes. Ultimately, it did try to kill me on three separate occasions.

Well I’ve gone in the opposite direction. I’ve had one, then two, then zero, then one, and now zero.

No, I said screw it. Not like I have any room in my garage or house for more crap. Besides, they belong in a running Tercel. That’s my hope.

Why did I tear up reading this?

I’m on the other side of the country and I miss the Tercel already.

Major bummer. I’ve always wanted to own one of these as a winter beater.

They really drive through anything. Definitely best suited for winter, DDing the other 9 months of the year is kind of dicey when you can barely get up to 65 mph.

I feel like this is all the more reason to get the Bronco back on the road so I can post pics of it every day again.
