It has been more than 6 months and I think we all need to take a moment to remeber the forgotten....

Subject: Moment of silence for 055 1/11/2006
I want to take a couple minutes with you to remember my good old friend 055. ........................... Thank you for taking the time as a group to honor my favorite truck in this way. Today has brought me close to tears as 055 finally left our midst and is making it way to the auction block. The beautiful parts of 055 were not show in it rustic appearance, in its cracked dash and broken door handle or even the semi- broken backup beeper, the beautiful part is what the truck stood for through the years, the toil it made daily, to make us and many people around us and before us happy as it hummed down the road with care, only looking for more pavement, and more pavement to see. This truck was my friend when I needed one and my workhorse when I needed to climb the mountain. This icon of recreation has finally been thrown away for a better model, one with a toolbox, shiny paint job, back seat and ugly light up top. I do not see a day in the near future where this truck can fill the shoes of the greatest City truck I have ever driven 055.
So remember that change is never easy and that trucks die hard. Here it to 055's life beyond Recreation. Good Luck 055! May your tires wear slow and your alignment remain straight!
