In June, we started looking for a new car, as my Chevy Aveo had a problem: It wasn't running! It was going to cost more to do anything for it, as it was 2009 and they had stopped making parts for it, so we gave it to Doug for parts.
We settled on a Nissan Rogue in July 2020, fresh off the lot. We got it into the Maine Registry and, as soon as I could, I got it a special plate.
It was the REDRM. (For those who don't read Stephen King, he refers to if in "The Shining" and "Doctor Sleep". It reads "Murder" in the mirror....)
We (Bill, Pookah and me) were returning from a drive to Vermont, having had a day in which we went to Bruce's gravesite, the former Emmons household in Bristol to pick up another load of things that his step-daughters insisted we needed, a non-profit Cabot Creamery (they were open Friday - Sunday and we were there on Monday) and we went to a place in Bethlehem, New Hampshire to eat. We "fought" over the Hurricane Mountain Road as we bypassed it in North Conway (it was raining on the peak, so we went with Route 302) and we were almost in Maine when a deer came out - and we found out how much the bags where worth!
We came out alright, short of a couple of bruises.
The REDRM and the deer passed.
I'm at home, REDRM-less, and at the hands of Bill's red truck.
😕
ADDENDUM: I got my new REDRM the day before Thanksgiving. It's a Subaru Forester with all of the gear! Yahoo!
