My precious Derby finally had enough of my crazy driving and gave out last week. Of course this had to happen when Ryan was at state wrestling in Salina and I was in Wichita, 35 miles from home. Thankfully a co-worker felt pity on me and gave me a ride home. Derby has been a great car and will leave me with many precious memories. We brought her home in 2001 with just over 28,000 miles. She gave out in 2009 with almost 189,000 miles. She has been through a nasty hail storm that broke out the windshield and left many scars. She survived being rear ended by some nut in Wichita, and by me and Ryan in the driveway (the huge dent in the side occured in our driveway). She has seeen many places in her day and has carried many people, but my most precious memory is bringing home our baby girl from the hospital.
If luck will have it Derby will be up and running again in the near future and at that point I hope to find her a new owner that will adore her as I did. If you know anyone interested let me know. She is a real gem; a diamond in the rough.
I wasn't much in the mood to car shop because I really didn't want to replace Derby. I let Ryan do the researching and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I test drove a 2006 Grand Prix and decided she would be a fine work car. She has some big tires to fill but I think
Pearlie is up for the challenge.

How much for Derby? Travis can fix just about anything!

i think you should change the oil, drain the gas, block up the frame and save derby for maddie. that one of the nicest cars i've seen. maybe in 2031 madelyn can bring your grandbaby home to the trailer park
