It had a great run but sadly it’s time to say so long.

This is what it looks like when you donate your car to NPR. That is my 2005 Ford Escape. We managed to run it without oil. But not for long. I now have a new car that uses neither oil nor gas so that should be better for a car idiot such as myself. Anyway, back to NPR. I listen all of the time and I hear them make it sound so easy and simple to support NPR by donating your old vehicle. They will make it easy and take care of everything. That’s what they say on the radio. Actually doing it is a let down. I was hoping Lakshmi Singh would take my call about the donation and we’d chat a bit and then perhaps Audie Cornish would come meet me and get the keys and then she and I could chat. That’s not how it goes down. I’ll skip the annoying details but know this, the Hybrid Escape is a thing of the past. The paper trail here is not what I would have hoped for. I’m going on NPR faith that this will be okay prior to April 15th!
