| Janet bought the car new in 1986 and was its only owner. |

Subie, as she is known, went 168,794 miles with Janet usually in her, and most often Janet was driving |
| Most of the miles and years passed in upstate New York. More recently taking Janet and Lorenz on oodles of treks and trips from New York City. |

Rust that threatened inspection status, increased frequency of repair, and transmission failure late in May led to decommissioning |
| Subie was hauled away from the parking lot,
where she had spent much of the past two years waiting for us to show up.
She'll be ground up and "... turned into a Mercedes!" said the towing crew.
And a red Mercedes 280 pulled up behind Subie as they rolled away. |
