Hey Friends,
Take a moment to rewind to May 2012 by reading Dad’s old post here. He introduced you to our newest mode of transportation.
The Envy Green 2006 Scion XB became a beloved family member. My parents drove it countless miles, and it was towed behind the BoggsMobile for 8.5 years. It also rode thousands of miles in the tent trailer for many years.
We loved the car that we lovingly called The Green Machine. It was a blessing from God! We prayed for the right car, and God answered our prayers!
We loved the ability to load it down and haul a bunch of stuff. The little thing was so roomy. We got majorly spoiled. It was easy for me to get in and out of. The gas mileage was great!
Some people hated the green color. Believe it or not, we adored it. We could easily spot our car in a crowded parking lot!
By the end of 2020, the green machine was tired of road life! It was worn out and needed lots of TLC. We retired her to living at home.
The KJo Jeep joined our fleet of vehicles, and the Green Machine lived on. Dad used it locally and could not part with the beloved family member.
Bro. Whiffen in Florida loves Scion XBs, too. He always wanted The Green Machine, but it needs much work on many issues.
A few months ago, we told him he could get it now. He plans to restore it. I can't wait to see it fixed up!
Florida and Ohio are not neighbors, so getting it to him was a little difficult with his and our schedules.
Finally, we decided to have it transported to Florida. Now, he did not have to spend money, time and strength on a trip to Ohio to retrieve the car.
Mom found a company, and the price was reasonable. We scheduled the pickup for sometime this week.
On Monday morning, we found out the driver was on his way. Mom said he was a very nice young man. He worked diligently to load the car on his truck, which was not easy.
Here are some pics I took from my porch. Mom had him load it in the Dodds Church
parking lot.
The transport driver left Ohio Monday afternoon. By Wednesday morning the car was delivered safe and sound to its new home.
Thank God for a great vehicle! It served us well!
Thanks for reading!
Odie
