Default I Found It!!!

I knew I took a pic that night.

it was 3am when we got home

.
she had been in storage for well over 10 years
.
.
she didn't run so she stayed on the trailer so we could go to the car wash in the AM

but i snapped this one pic I sent to my father... And just found it on his harddrive!!!
