the fate of the beat bush mobile

Poll question: the fate of the beat bush mobile

so, of all the things that i was looking forward to in the kerry administration, the most personal one was- i could retire this car-



now, i do love her. i will miss her horribly. she is rusty, blowing oil, crumbling. it would take an engine, and at least $500 to really keep her going. i was looking forward to her work being done, so that i may move along to a reliable, efficient, new car (which the hubby will NOT let me "decorate").
i have been joking about taking her to burning man. probably not, but i have been dreaming about some such appropriate send-off.
trouble is, her work is not done. now i feel like i have to drive her to d.c. for the coronation, at the least.
so, what do you think i should do?

1. Viking Funeral! n/t

2. one idea

i am an artist, and sometimes do clay. i have also been joking about stripping it out, and doing a sawdust firing in it. (you usually dig a pit.)

8. Viking Fuuneral on the White House Lawn!

n/t

3. the troops in Iraq can use it

4. protest mode

I say park her in the middle of the busiest intersection and torch the bitch............but I am pissed as I have ever been right now.

5. 1600 pennsylvania ave.

12. Good Idea!

but it would look a teensy bit like baghdad....
HEY we could learn something from those protesters they seem to be doing a good job! (JUST KIDDING :))

14. I was thinking ...

... drive her into the ponds at Constitution Park(?) in DC like the tractor dude.

6. Bring it to the bar on Sunday.

We'll beat the living fuck out of it with hammers, bats, and bags of doorknobs.

[mopinko]

7. what bar?

is there a chi get together in the works?

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. Yes, Celtic Crossings....

The one on Clark near Chicago. I am not yet sure of the time.

[mopinko]

11. hmmmm

i do have a long "to do after the election" list staring at me. i dunno.

[peacefreak]

10. Impeach-mobile

:evilgrin:

[Is It Fascism Yet]

13. Yes!

[mopinko]

15. another idea that occured to me this morning

i could drive out to protest the corontation, then have it sunk in the atlantic for fish habitat.

16. Donate it to a local school

My HS had an auto lab for students to learn how to fix cars. Our local community college has one too. I'm sure either one would appreciate the donation, and you would be contributing to people's educations.

You could also donate it to a fire department. They use old junkers to train with the "jaws of life".

Volunteers of America could come and get it. You'd get a tax-deductable receipt for "fair market value". They'd auction it off and the proceeds would help the homeless.

20. volunteers

i actually rescued her from the junkyard after she was a donation. this place hangs on to the "bad, but not dead yet" donations, and gets a little more for them than the crusher.

17. Use it to drop a flag draped coffin off atthe White House every day...-nt-

[GingerSnaps]

19. Sell her on eBay

You never know you might get a good amount of money out of it.

[mopinko]

21. i'm kinda seriously considering this

she really should be retired from driving. unless someone is crazy enough to fix her up. she blows much hydrocarbons.
she is still a blast to drive, tho.

[kayell]

22. Keep decorating, then sell her on e-bay

Make sure you're part of the Cheney economy.

23. great pic

think they would like to have the beat bush mobile in their museum there in texas?
