The WendellWagon

1995 Ford Taurus
Property of wendell. Added Aug 2008.

Green, old school station wagon acquired to aid in traveling with sick wife and big dog. The wife left me, the dog died and I haven't figured out how to fill the big emptiness... except with fast food trash. Living 3.5 miles outside of town (in both directions) means every errand run is a fuel consuming adventure. Fortunately the closest gas station is attached to a Costco. Been tracking prices lately, now to track mileage - and maybe do something to improve it.
