Default News about as bad as it gets

Wow, a forum section just designed for this kind of message.

Last Wed, My wife and I got a ride to a used JEEP dealer and picked up a sweet used Jeep, this puppy was 26 years old and I've seen 26 month old cars in worse condition, it was clean inside and out, Major issues were missing light bulbs (Dome/courtesy) in fact, not a big thing at all.. One broken seat belt buckle, still buckled just fine but unbuckling was a tad tricky.

We were happy, really looking forward to life with a car again, epically one this good. It was a NICE car, ran like new, handled the same way. Ordered the tow bar (Would have had it installed next week)

Well We drove it to church on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (The last getting back home to bed about 12:30) back up at 6am and back to church for the Easter Sunday Mass. Again we really enjoied the Jeep, between that and other runnign around we put between 300 and 400 miles on it in just a few days.

On Sunday, while following me to a new campground we'd never been to before, she lost control (Very clearly driver error, not mechanical error) smashed into a tree, and died (Instantly near as they can tell).

The funeral is Monday, 11am, http://saintpaulseneca.org/
