Ode to an Xterra...

Ode to my Xterra...

my nearly 12 year old Nissan Xterra with 287,000 miles on it performed one final duty for me this morning when a driver pulled out in front of me on a rain-slick road causing me to broad-side him head-on, smash though a guard rail, go airborne, crash through a wood plank farm fence and through a wooded glen. My truck of all these years was in great shape before this but, alas, I think I shall see it no more. It saved my can today though. I'm shaken and stirred, will be sore and stiff, but still here with my family. Thank you my mechanical friend! XTERRA ROCKS!!!

WOW, Doc...you took one helluva ride, but could not have had a better friend...like a dog...faithful to the end! I'm happy you are safe, although banged up and hope you can find another "Buddy" soon.

Thanks, my brothah! Yeah, I'll miss my buddy. But I'll be looking for a new one. Kinda reminds me of an old "Spencer For Hire" episode with Robert Urich. His '67 Mustang gets blown up, so, he's all sad and depressed. One of his salvage buddies takes him to the yard to show him a new Mustang GT [1985 I think] and says to him, "... new body, same spirit...". Spencer slides into the new Mustang, gives a little nod and drives off.

Yeah, it'll be something like that. ; )
