Not a compelling image, aesthetically, but a significant one for me personally: Here is my beloved 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (dig the classic woody side panels!) being loaded onto a tow truck, en route to a local garage and eventually its new owner. I have been forced, by recent unfortunate personal economic circumstances, to sell the Jeep, which was customized with a diesel engine to run biodiesel or WVO. Unfortunately, as a highly customized vehicle, it's had some mechanical issues that I lack the skills to fix myself and the money to pay anyone else to deal with for me. So I sell the fun and funky, but unreliable, car I adore and keep the dull but eminently practical Honda minivan, which has the sterling quality of starting each and every time I turn its key. Sigh. Some days impersonating a responsible adult is even less fun than usual.
