Today we took Jonathan's car to the junkyard. They gave us $200 for him. That seems like such a small pitance for what Borris has done for us. Borris, so named by Jonathan, is a '91 Mazda MX6. Jonathan has driven him for 8 years and he runs like a tank. He just runs and runs and runs. But the quality of the runs has been diminshing lately. We would have kept him had it not been for the air conditioning problem. The problem is there is no air conditioning. Jonathan would come home in a complete sweat and I was afraid he was going to get heat stroke while he was stuck in traffic. Not to mention that the starter is going out, among other things. To see a great look at what life is like in Borris, take a look at these funny videos.
Thanks for the good times, Borris. I never thought in a million years that you would be around as long as you have. Thanks for taking good care of my husband as we have moved you from UT, to AZ, to MO, and back to AZ. Borris the Beast, I bid you farewell.

Y'all make me laugh......
Sad, yet with a twist of excitment (car with A/C as replacement). Just remember: the new car does NOT need the battery disconnected each time you stop. I'm sure you'll be popping the hood out of habit!
How funny! Borris looks like he was an adventure. :)
Happy Father's Day, Jonathan!
Departing with old cars is a moment in time. Remembering all the good times. They give their last full measure of devotion, kept us safe, gave their all and were loyal to the end. Great tribute! Sorry to see the ole blue go.
