The Millennium Snowball
Our "New" Car (c.2003, from an older section of the Silver Gateways)
This is our 1989 Daihatsu Charade CLX.
The name requires something of a long backstory, so I'll only elaborate if asked.
The detail photo is a visual pun. The original owner of this car usually pulled it behind his RV. So, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth added some art when he did the pin-striping that told it like it was; the car was Bee 'n Toad ;-).
This is also an early trial of another new toy. We got a camera to go on the Gameboy Advance. Not the greatest images, but easier (and faster!) than using film and then scanning. I'll try to get some better images eventually.
Update: Sadly, we overheated the engine, and a combustion leak test showed combustion gases in the engine coolant. At best, it's a gasket -- at worst, the engine will need to be replaced. Since getting parts for this thing was always problematic, we decided to sell it.
