Nissan Pathfinder, 1991-2008, Rest In Peace


The full life of Nissan Pathfinder sadly came to a close on Saturday, July 12th, 2008. Nissan was heading home from a trip to the local biking trailhead with a balding 31-year-old and an overly furry 7-year-old in tow when it suffered a devastating timing belt break. The break did irreparable (or at least ridiculously expensive) damage to the valves of Nissan's engine. Nissan's caretaker changed the spark plugs in futility and rushed Nissan to the College Exxon (rushed = Monday morning) with the help of Elite Towing. Unfortunately Nissan was deemed to be damaged beyond reasonable revival and will soon be laid to rest at AF&T Auto Parts and Salvage. The balding caretaker will receive $60 for his troubles. Nissan lived each of its 195,000+ miles with a spirit of adventure and an obnoxious ticking noise.

This just in! An investigation of an unnamed, balding, 31-year old has recently been opened. This individual is suspected of criminal negligence. This unscrupulous individual will allegedly receive $60 as a result of his crimes. If you see this person, please call AAA immediately. Do not attempt to approach him as he may be dangerous. Authorities believe he is at large in Bozeman on a blue bicycle.

I find it suspicious that the 31-year-old caretaker's lovely assistant was not given due credit for rescuing said overly furry 7-year-old and driving her home (the balding dude insisted on riding his bike home but without a leash, his companion needed a vehicle). Little does he know that when he turned the other way, the aforementioned assistant may have worked her magic to put NP out of its misery once and for all...and finally get a new blog posted.

Just kidding, I loved the white beast too and while I shed fewer tears than Joel, I too am mourning his loss. What is most memorable about this ordeal is watching Joel try to cyphen the $50 of gas he'd just put in NP and only achieving a fume-induced headache. The lengths we'll go to b/c of $4/gallon. I guess that's one benefit of the blue bike.

Please send memorial gifts to our Bozeman address, c/o The Fund to Buy Joel a Car that Requires More than an Annual Oil Change. Or at least a bike trailer so he can still help get groceries.

Oh man, thats funny stuff joel. I can always count on you to make me laugh my ass off. Sorry to hear about the nissan. I too have some fond memories of the nissan. She was a fighter and a great machine. She will live on in your heart forever though. Hope things are going good for you buddy! Keep bozeman alive on that bicycle and the bozeman police are retarded so I think you should be ok.

I have had a request to confirm that I was in fact joking about sending memorial gifts. Joel doesn't want money but I do.

Our condolences and sympathy in the passing of Nissan the Magnificant. We also hope the old dog is okay and that Erin gets credit for saving the day.

Love you,

Dad and Susan

What? No more puttering Nisan? How will I know when you're coming down the street? You're going to have to get a banging sound system in your new vehicle. I see a hoopty in your future.

Sad day. Sorry Joel.

Joel said...

Installing a bangin sound system on my bike may be tricky. I don't think a new (to me) car is in my immediate future. But I will be scanning the classifieds for a hoopty, just in case I see a bargain.

Joel said...

Oh, just to squeeze a little more sympathy. I just called the IRS about the fact that I haven't received my stimulus check. Apparantly they haven't recieved my return (though they did cash my $500 check) and can't send me the stimulus check until they receive and process a resubmittal of my return. . .in September! What a week for the pocketbook.

Ah the inevitable finally happened - the Nissan has finally said "STOP DRIVING ME!". How I fondly remember the drives around Salt Lake and Bozeman in the beast that I thought would take my life.

It was a good truck - but now you can find something more fuel efficient to recover your $50:)

our toyota died on a trip to get a pig-yes a live one for kalon and his friends to kill and eat. seems fitting that the truck with 278000 miles died the same day obi did. i feel your pain dude. we are now a one subaru and a dog family too.

Holy crap.

A Jubby blog.

So sorry to hear of the passing of your old white friend. I feel your pain as I recall saing goodbye to my 200,000 mile green weeniemobile just months ago.

Maybe if you get 5 more overly furry friends and a wagon, they will pull you around in your time of grief.

By the way...bald is the new sheik. Live it up!

Too funny! That thing really hung in there with ya didn't it? You need to find another one with a heart just like that one. Until then I guess your bike is getting to and from....until winter hits.
We'll mourn with you over your loss.

Hey I want to know if there is a reward for finding the fugitive? If not I'll let him wander on his bike in peace!!
If you want your bike to make noise bring it to Ashton and we'll let the girls do some decorating for you!!! I'm sure you'd have the fanciest (although it may be pink)bike around!!!
We'll mourn with you the loss of your car. Sometimes it's hard to part with them. We felt the same after the accord died!

Paul and Joni said...

Thanks for making me laugh out loud at work. Now everyone knows I don't always look up what I'm supposed to...unless they thought I was having a good time reading spreadsheets.

I always thought you had playing cards stuck in your spokes to make you feel cooler, I didn't know it was because your engine was bad.

I remember the time a couple years ago I had to sell a pretty good green machine for $250 because we couldn't tow it before it would have been hijacked that night by Dallas hoodlums. $60 is pretty lame though.

I don't think you are balding too bad yet. I shaved my had all the way and now it is growing back funny...in patches...kind of like how it takes a good 2 or three weeks to grow a good beard and fill in. Gotta say though, chicks dig the buzz cut even if all you can show off is the sideburns.

Maude said...

Well, you succeeded in getting a long, out-loud laugh from me, Joel. Your "line-up" pictures are awesome, and the entire write-up is great - - -a bit Dave Barry-ish, even.

I have many fond memories of the great white beasty with the hair-covered red interior. I even remember when it was "new" (to us) and how proud you were driving it home. It has served you well - - -nearly 200 K isn't bad! I hope you saved some little part of it as a small memorial - - -the very least you can do after beating it to death all these years and then trashing it for $60!

That's weird about your stimulus check - - hope it all gets straightened out soon. And thanks for a super blog, Joel. It was a happy surprise!

Love you,
Mom

Rest in Peace Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. 200K miles is very impressive for an SUV. Reminds me that I need to replace the timing belt on my Accord. It's at 125K miles but I just gave it a nice new paint job and figure it'll last me another 100K.

Old cars kind of grow on you. Remember that blue Toyota Corolla we shared? On the way home to Boise, the clutch went out at Glen's Ferry and we had to ride the rest of the way home in 3rd gear. It's kind of cool when they go out with a bang.
