Goodbye to an old friend

All that remains from Mellow Yellow. A few oil stains on the street in front of the house. Goodbye old friend. You will be missed. The oil stains are your memorial forever in front of the house. Enjoy Washington.

Mellow in the rain


German engineering at it's finest. The cayenne and the bus. One does 60 mph and one does 160 you figure out wich is which









Well today my ol' friend Mellow yellow is making a move. He's spent a little over a year up in this area and it was time to let him go. I sold Mellow Yellow the VW bus. I know I know. Why? I have to ask myself that. I just felt it was time to move on and let someone else enjoy him. Everytime I thought about selling him I would drive by someone else with a bus and they'd shoot me a peace sign. It happened to me in Arizona and it happened to me here too.


I was taking the vdub for a spin and a guy in a vw eurovan shot me a peace sign as he cruised by. So, it was almost like a sign not to sell. But, Kyle (new owner) drove down from Washington to pick it up. And he's got another vw which is cool. VW owners understand VW'S. So selling to him made me feel ok.










In memory of Mellow Yellow I've uploaded some pictures. Yo'll be missed ol' friend. Lots of good memories, even when your motor fell out.










PEACE!

Brooks, so sorry to see the van go. I have a funny feeling you'll have more money though, you know, not flying motors and extinct van parts back and forth from the States to Mexico.

But the ride was totally worth it.
