Big Red's Fiery Farewell

Back in the late 1980's, I bought a 1984 red Nissan 4x4 pickup truck. In the 200,000+ miles I owned her, I had taken her from coast to coast, from Canada to Mexico. She was happiest with her hubs locked in, ambling along on some old back mountain road, or chirping across a slab of slickrock at Moab. Then one day- poof! She went up in a blaze of glory. The engine caught on fire and that was that. Fortunately, it happened at the parking garage at work, rather than on the road, or at home. We miss you, Big Red.
