The Blue Whale Dies.

The Blue Whale is dead! I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT TO WRITE ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!! Wow. So, it's a funny story...

The Blue Whale has been under some major repairs and renovations for the past...9 months or so. But really more so in the past 2 months, because that's when I've had some money to make said repairs. The Highway and his buddy Fly decided they are capable men who were willing to undertake such a projects as trying to fix a 30 year old STATION WAGON. We are talking an old, old station wagon. The kind that weighs about 8 tons and is made entirely of steel.

In all honestly, The Blue Whale has technically been road ready for the 9 months --  meaning that I *could have* started it up and I *could have* driven it somewhere if need be. But it was just easier to drive The Highways car, as it is not 8 tons and doesn't take about 10 gallons of gas to drive a mile to the grocery store.

Some issues the Blue Whale had:

• In need of a new muffler
• some alleged collaborator problems
• could have used some new break pads

This last little gem is a little something we found out the hard way. Or, should I say The Highway found out the hard way. In this case, the "hard way" was rolling backwards in a 8 ton steel death trap car down a hill with a giant cliff at the bottom... The good news is that it turns out The Highway's time spent in the Army was good for one thing: it taught him the importance of the "tuck and roll" method of escape, which is what he needed to do as he was in the driver's seat of a car that was heading backwards off a cliff.

* yes, I know the vid isn't working right now. No, I do not know how to fix it...

A pic to tide you over:

One of the greatest things about this car is I bet I could put the keys in the ignition and it would start right back up... INDESTRUCTIBLE, this thing! Also, please note the fence it torn down on it's way over.
