No More Impala




After a little more than two years of having my company car silver Chevy Impala, I was a little sad to see it go this morning as the ARI representative picked it up and drove it away. To date, I put 20,000 miles on that car driving all over the Bay Area, to Fresno and even up and down California for various site visits, tuned it up every 5,000 miles religiously, gassed it up for "free" on my company gas card through all the ups and downs of our California gas prices. It was a big boat of a car, one that I had problems parallel parking, whose big dashboard I peered over, whose radio would crackle in and out periodically, but it was "my" car for awhile. Good-bye to those big, round, red tail lights that kept me safe through the miles - it was a good ride, thank you.
