Bad news on the Hillcar

My mechanic called me today with some bad news, the Hillcar needs a new transmission.
I made this Hillcar video today to try to convince myself that I should pony up, and pay up.

How much will the new transmission be? First question. I am sure you would be able to put in the museum as is, also a different consideration. Preserved forever in the Art Car Museum. We'll talk about this later at the Vegan Potluck!

Your car should be put on display at the Simthsonian. Or on Hillary's front yard.

WOW, so happy to hear from Ben Dale, a blast from the past, and one hell of an amazing sculptor and artist too! Cudos to you. I agree that Miss Gretchen's sense of humor is pricelessly brilliant.

Thanks Ben, what a nice surprise! You rock!
Perrie, I wonder if Hillary would appreciate me leaving the Hillcar on her front yard? Excellent idea!

Charlene said...

Hillary could start her own art car museum...starting with the Hillcar! Hell, she wouldn't need any other art car BUT the Hillcar. It's a piece of Herstory!

By the way, Chew-Mee...what's this about 'Van' problems, you little stalker? As soon as this fever goes away I'm gonna be ready to spar...you just wait!

Charlene said...

The bad part, though is....no wheels for Gretchen right now. This is so not good! What can we do?

Wow, Ben Dale! Nice surprise indeed... and he has like five blogs of his own... I feel the stalker coming out on me!

"at the car wash, yeah!"

Paintress Gretchen said...

O.K., let's! Can everyone wear, like, next to nothing and be ready to dance a lot?

Charlene said...

well, I can dance a lot! you can count me in for that!

Paintress Gretchen said...

Any chance you'd be willing wear a tube top, Charlene?

Charlene said...

Well..........I could probably be coerced into wearing a tube top. Can it be sparkly?

I'll be sporting pig tails and a stiped baby blue tube top with short shorts and knee socks that match my skates!

Oh, and of course I will be chewing gum and blowing big bubbels...

Paintress Gretchen said...

Love it!

Oddly enough! I just found 5 tube tops, about 5 days ago! I have them in the storage room, awaiting give away? Crazy huh?

Charlene said...

ok, so, we've got 5 tube tops to fight over - 50 red suits, a ton of Hillary masks...this is becoming a helluva party. And, Bisbohemian - come on down in all your finery! It's Bisbee after all!

Paintress Gretchen said...

Once I get back from Mexico, we are on!

Charlene said...

yet another awesome Bisbee Bash!
