I shared some pictures almost 2 months ago of my car prior to getting some bodywork done after it had been hit for the second time. Long story short 91 Tracker that my dad purchased new. It’s been in the family ever since. Decided to throw on a new top and made a tire cover that kind of matched up with the name that my mom gave her years ago.

It’s good to have Yellow Bird back for more adventures!

I brought a couple of bricks of this back from the Keys and I’m almost out. Anyone for me or something that’s similar in taste? I’m sure it’s not for everyone, but I love it!

1991 Geo Tracker that my Dad bought new for my Mom. Mom named her Yellow Bird. She spent a couple of years in Michigan then moved south to Georgia with my parents.

When my dad was ill, he said to me, “I know that you love that little car. Take it home with you when I’m gone..”

Because of that comment because my adult kids grew up riding around in it with Grampy and love it I feel compelled to keep it going. The transmission was shipped off to be rebuilt, it’s on its second engine, and I’ve lost count on the number of tops.

This is her second trip to the body shop in 10 years, both times due to someone hitting me and driving off…

Anyway, I’m excited to have her getting some cosmetic work done. She currently runs fine, but she definitely needs a little spa day at the body shop. I’ll post when she’s back home.

I’m excited about finding this group, I’ve read lots of good suggestions already!

I’m proud of the espumita on this morning’s Cuban coffee, finally.

Happy Sunday everyone.
