Scheherazade II is MINE!!!
OK, I realize that this is something most people have done far more frequently than I. I've driven everything from a Renault to a Lincoln , but most of them were like the Dart, one step, and a short one at that, from the junkyard. The Volvo lasted through December of '98, but then we were forced to go with the Access vans. They don't carry oxygen.
We had a friend who offered a Chevy station wagon. We were able to fit the folding wheelchair in the back of it. OK. We struggled along with it, and one chilly January day, we headed to the local shopping mall to get Cheryl some drapes. We looked, but there wasn't anything she liked and the tank we had on the wheelchair was heading toward empty. When we got to the parking lot... The car was gone. Some idiot had taken the car, with the spare O2 tank.
Cheryl was getting panic stricken, and the mall cops muttered something about this being a prime area for stolen cars. I felt this was less than helpful. I called my insurance company and the Geico Rep said things would be handled. He put me through to Enterprise and less than 15 minutes, they were pulling up in a Windstar. They took us back to the house, got her back on the concentrator , then took be back over to the office to rent the WS.
When I took the car back, they said they had a good possible on one of their fleet cars, a 1999 Taurus. I did have a small, really small credit union account, but it worked. The Credit Union and I owned a car.
That was January 2001. We named her for the Volvo, the 1969 car who ran till December, 1998. Yesterday, I made the last payment!
Sharra, of course I name cars, don't you? is still in excellent condition. I'm careful with cars, and this one has been a sweet one. So, join me in a toast to Geico and Enterprise and the Watermark Credit union! Sharra's mine, all mine.
