Is that my car?

I can't believe it! Ed and I found the 2005 Ford Taurus that I bought for Sarah Nicole Rinehart sitting in the parking lot of Long John Silver's ... 2 blocks from our house. I asked the Long John Silver's employees if they were aware of this car and they said yes "...it had been sitting there for about 2 weeks...with the window down'. They were getting ready to call the police to check and see if was stolen. Another Sarah situation!!!

Of course, the car would barely run. It sounded like the engine was going to shake out of the hood and it probably would have if you left it running very long. We were able to drive it home with the spare key (that I spent $100 to make before giving it over to her) and parked it in the garage. I'm waiting for that phone call when she actually does go check on it again (who knows, maybe she never will) and it's gone. Not sure if she'll call the police or me!!!

Anyway, Mitch took a look at it and said it had thrown a rod, and the back window was busted out. Thanks to Sarah, in less than 1 year (8 months to be exact) the car is ready for the trash can. I've already had to replace the head gasket back in May. I remember it well, I gave it back to her, directly from the mechanics, on her 20th birthday, May 7th.

The poor poor Ford Taurus is now going to the auction and hopefully will find a nice person to take car of it.

As for Sarah...who knows how she'll get around? She's got something going now as I haven't heard a peep from her.

And me...I'll never buy Sarah another car...possibly nothing ever again! She seems to believe in disposables. If it doesn't work or she doesn't need it any longer...throw it away!

Very sad. Hurts my heart.
