The End of an Era

Off to her new owner. At least she had good company on the car hauler -- an early 90s Miata, regarded as a "modern MG."


This morning was it, the final farewell to Goldie. It’s a little strange not to have her around as I’ve spent a good part of the last 12 years with that car, but on the other hand, it is a little bit of a relief.

I’ve had a lot of good times with the car, going back all the way to my years at Stanford. A dozen years of memories.

Here is a Tribute to Goldie photo gallery. Stories of the car are contained in the website category From the Logbook.
