Last Saturday Michael "sold" his Bronco to the State of California. When it failed its smog test last December, tests revealed that it would cost a considerable amount of money to repair it. This amount exceeded the value of the vehicle, and didn't factor in the cost of other repairs needed, so we made the decision to turn it in to the state. There is a program where California will "buy" vehicles that won't pass emission tests in an effort to remove them from the highways. The process took a couple of months, but ended on Saturday when we went to an auto wrecking yard in Sun Valley and turned it in. It was a bittersweet moment. Alec took pictures the Friday before (above), and I took some pictures with my phone at the wrecking yard...
