For some people their car is just a mode of transportation. For us, Yellow Manly has become part of the family. He has been there through it all; through short and fat and tall; through thick and thin and rain and snow and ice. He has been coast to coast and seen things that only a yellow Xterra can see.
He had some proud moments like when he got a hitch.
He had some shameful moments, like when he was towed 150 miles across Southern Utah desert.
He made it through the sweltering heat of Las Vegas.
He proudly transported our new bed home from Sam's Club.
He endured the drudgery of disposing of our old bed.
And despite the verdict of his poor condition a year ago this month, he managed to go on a trip from Las Vegas to Salt Lake and back as well as drive from Las Vegas to Salt Lake to Los Alamos to Amarillo to Dallas to Knoxville to Washington, D.C. to Deleware. We are grateful he made it as long as he did, especially with a gimp oil pump.
May he rest in peace.

I'll always be grateful to Yellow Manly for breaking down where he did so you could be towed to St. George. That way we were able to have you stay with us and we enjoyed it.
