Percy’s Bane
Posted by Holly.
Well, I finally made contact with the tower who’s coming tonight to take Percy to his final resting place. So, I now feel it’s safe to report on Percy’s end and finally show the mortal wound.
He’s being towed, no cost to me, but no benefit to charity either, by a company in Burlington of all places. Guy’s picking up a car down near exit 1 (either he means White River, or, more unlikely, Brattleboro. can’t remember if he said which interstate, but coming from Burlington, I’m guessing 89), and he thinks he can pick Percy up at the same time.
I’m not sure if I’ve talked about the damage before. The frame is broken behind the right front wheel. I think it originated from when I was learning to drive 6 years ago, and I hit a curb at about 25-30mph. Hit with the right front, and I hit so hard it bent the tire rim. Add a few years of water and salt, and BAM! you’ve got a bit of frame that’s completely crumbled away.

Oh, for the record, Percy traveled 124,898.7 miles before the end. Not bad for such a little thing. At least 40,000 of those miles were with me in 6 years. I think he had something like 80,000 on him when dad gave him to me just before my sophomore year of college.
