I know I haven't blogged in a while...
but I've been depressed, because my aunt is selling her El Camino.
What's got me down isn't that she won't have it anymore. It's that she never gave it to me, and I can't afford to buy it.
I always thought that eventually, my aunt would break down and give me that truck, because I am her favorite nephew. My first target was college graduation (at the time, I was driving an '82 that I had to sell to buy a car I could drive back and forth to Santa Cruz to do the show). Then I targeted my 25th birthday. Then her (imminent) retirement. Each time I convinced myself I was certain to get a gift I'd always remember. But it wasn't to be. Now she's selling it for $3900.
Which brings me to the point of this post... anyone got four grand burning a hole through their pocket? Want to support public broadcasting?

I find it hard to believe that you can't buy camper shells for '85 El Caminos anymore.
I had a real bitch of a time trying to find one for my '82 El Camino.
