That's the name of the car that Paul drove the both of us to school and work in for almost 3 years. He bought it off of his uncle John, who used to be Tammy's gym teacher in Junior High, and I just bought it off of him for $50. It's a '91 Dodge Shadow, and it still runs pretty good considering the price. Paul was just going to give it to me, but I felt I had to pay at least something for it, so we settled on the $50 price tag. That's cheaper than a bus pass, so even if it only lasts me a month, it owes me nothing. Becoming a two car family has opened up a world of freedom for Tammy and Emma, and I think we're going to trade in our Cavalier now, for a bigger family vehicle for when the new baby arrives.
Thanks be to Paul, our posterity will sing songs of your generosity for generations to come.

Update:
Neil did not pass the insurance inspection, and it will cost about $850 just to get him to that point, and another $500 bucks if we wanted to fix everything that's wrong with him. I'm not going to spend that much on a $50 car, so he's parked in the back for now.
We're not sure what we'll do with him in the future, but donation is probably the only option at this point.
Tyler once bought a car from his Young Men's leader for $1 and a DQ cone.
You should enter it into a demolition derby. It would only cost you another $50 or so for an entrance fee and you could have the time of your life.
