MAXIMA, Nissan, 15, resident of Prattville, Alabama, died on Thursday, March 8th, 2007. After suffering a severe breakdown on Interstate 65 North just before exit 179 on Wednesday, "Maxi" was officially pronounced dead at Roger's Automotive, suffering from a blown head gasket. Maxi can be seen at Roger's this week for visits from family and friends. Visitation will be Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. Maxi is survived by her parents, Baron and Laura Goins, and brother Honda "Jaws" CR-V. Maxi will be buried at Seaman's Wrecker junkyard. Yes, that's right. The Maxima is gone. She was my baby for 7 years before she bit the dust. So, we are currently in the market for a car to replace her. Please keep us in your prayers as we are about to gain a car payment, which is something we planned to avoid, hoping Maxi would last us long enough to save up for a car (which obviously didn't happen).
Special thanks to Brett & Judy for letting us borrow their Blazer!! They really saved us a lot of trouble. THANKS Y'ALL! :-)
well said, well said...she will be missed. Sure she had no radio and only 2 windows (1 being the sunroof) still worked, but she was a good car. Thanks for the memories Maxi...you will be missed
ReplyDelete*sniff sniff* How sad... she lived a long life...
ReplyDeleteI found out after I saw you guys Thursday night that my Uncle Nip (Grandmama's brother) died March 8 also. He was 87 which is a little older than the Maxima in car years. Have you thought about a Mo-ped? Great gas mileage! And you are already used to not having a radio.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best during your period of mourning. Did you happen to save a small peice of her for a proper burial? Say... a door knob?
ReplyDeleteA door knob? What kind of car do you drive?? :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to say goodbye to those who've stood/sat/rolled beside us for so long...
ReplyDeleteOkay, it took me two paragraphs to realize this was a car...
ReplyDeletePoor Maxi... may she rest in peace....
ReplyDeletethats a morbid gravestone. womp womp
ReplyDeleteYou know...it really makes you think (sigh).
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel...my Altima has been on life support for weeks now. We're thinking about pulling the plug (sniff, sniff)
My 11-year-old honda died a similar death around Christmas. After the mourning period, I got a new civic, and I love it!!! We got 40 miles to the gallon this weekend on our way to Nashville. I don't know what you are in the market for, but I thought I'd give you something to chew on. :)
