The light at the end of the tunnel is visible, and it's not an oncoming train.

This afternoon, we signed the title to Midori-chan over to Allstate. Tomorrow morning we're picking up Moby-kun, our Dodge Caravan. Yes we are fully funded on this. And whatever funds we do put down on it will be reimbursed.

Our thanks to all who have helped us, or even those who have just given us moral support.

BTW: the HHR is visually snazzy, but when it comes to meaty matters like hauling Richie's equipment it doesn't do so well. The load of the vibes, the speaker cabinet and the amp brain made the poor thing audibly and palpably strain. Midori-chan had no trouble with such cargo, and that was with a four-banger engine. The HHR is best left to transporting groceries, and transporting kids to soccer practice. Disappointing car.
