My 10+ year old car was pressed into service for a 5-hour drive with 4 members of our board. All of us, and our luggage, in a my Ford Escort- literally the cheapest car you could buy new from ford when I bought it.
The next year we rented a minivan instead. (We also were toting 5 people, but that was just the excuse to drop the money for the 2-day rental.)
Hey, it’s not MY fault Saturn went out of business for making good cars and making a lot of other car executives look bad, so that I can’t buy another one. And I’m not letting go of my 1998 Saturn any time soon because it still works so well if they WERE still in business I WOULD plan on buying another one.
Always wondered how it would feel not to have to work on an upcoming convention… actually it still feels pretty good! 🙂 Though I suppose if CaliFur gets a decent venue next year I may get sucked back into ConOps…

I currently have the newest car I have ever owned and it is 12 years old. I kind of feel called out. 🙂

….I don’t think I’ve ever owned a car less than 10 years old, though some just barely older. Had a few cars that were older than me…

My current vehicle is a 2007, so…

What’s this about lost spagetti privileges? Darned spagetti incidents.

It could be less that no one has a care less than 10 years old and more that no one really want to pick up Troy Harrington.

That was my interpretation, lol.

… have you seen the economy lately I’d be shocked if there ate half as many cars as board members
