The last time "Black" had a tow truck ride was on her way home from Kool April Nights, when her fuel pump decided it had had enough already and just up and died. Fortunately Marilyn got lucky and was able to maneuver Black around the semi she had just sacked and found an off-ramp to bail off of I-5 in a hurry without getting squashed. (Needless to say, the planned visit with friends for dinner in Winters changed in a hurry, as the tow truck driver wanted to get home at a decent hour.)

So the black bomb is doing well with her new fuel pump, and of course any time Joe finds a new "goodie" in his many catalogs, she gets something "new". The little girl never goes without! She took us in style to a 50-year class reunion this past weekend, looking sharper than her occupants do, but then she IS a little younger, and gets lots more TLC!
