The old Buick that we had that had belonged to Russ' mom was down in the 'yard' at Texas so when Russ got in down there and was held over for a few days, he would have some wheels to run around in and not be stuck in the semi for 48 or more hours. Well, the Buick had major problems so we had talked about him getting a different vehicle. He just called and he went shopping and found himself a new car.
This is a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am and only has 52,000+ miles on it. He is pretty excited to have wheels down there that he can depend on.
He says that he has gotten a call from his supervisor regarding the fuel charges. Let's hope that meeting goes OK. I told Russ that I had a print out of our credit card that I could fax down there if they needed something right away. I just have to keep being optimistic and hope that it all turns out for the best.
Anyway, I just wanted to post a pic of the new car. I got this pic off the internet site where he bought the car. I actually downloaded all the pics from the internet sight so I can scrapbook about Russ' new baby.

Yay for Russ. What an ordeal he has been through. How are you feeling? That sounds like quite the fall. I could almost feel your pain.
Well, after all he has been thru this past week, he deserves this, and to get the hell away from that truck. It sure looks pretty, and hope he gets lots of miles out of it. When does he get to come home?
After what he has been through, we were hoping that they would get him home this coming weekend...but they are telling him they don't have any freight up this way. Also remember that he doesn't draw a paycheck until he can get to MN to drop it off..can't drop it off in TX where they process the payroll. Go figure. So hard telling when he'll get home..or when we will see another paycheck for him!
I'm thinking his company leaves a lot to be desired...
The car is cool!
