On March 20th, 2009, Sarah and I purchased Gertrude Buttercup. "Gert," as we came to know her.
Born in the year 1988 to the royal Toyota Hiace family, Gertrude was destined for a life of hard work and exploration. At the ripe old age of 21 (92 1/2 in car-years), Gert has a delicate, steady momentum, a strong perseverance... and awful smelling gas. Her eyes are the most beautiful shade of yellow and she keeps a constant crooked smile. Her voice cracks, she's deaf, and never showers. She's perfect.
Retired from working 15+ years in the house-painting business, Gert was ready for the adventure of her lifetime. She came to us well-equipped for cooking and shelter, as most good mothers do for their beloved. With a brand new muffler, two new tires and a new carpet, she was about to engage in the greatest adventure she would ever have. She would finally be set free to see the country she was sent to as an infant.
All of it...
