Ruby Returns

Isn’t she cute? 🙂
Tamika and I christened her  just now.

Back when I had the wreck, we had gotten the news that she might not be coming back to us, and I was genuinely sad that she had been so reliable and such a part of our family, that I had lamented that we hadn’t named her.

And so Ruby seems like an appropriate name for a red Subaru.

The collision centre replaced the entire front end, very nearly. The only thing left untouched was the right headlight and blinker. Everything else, the grill, the (very expensive) hood, the bumper, even the fog lights, are all shiny and new. The poor thing has never looked better.

The grill was actually surprising, they replaced it with a chrome one from a luxury model (our old one had just been plastic).

She’s still got some problems (need’s a new catalytic converter, needs an engine guard, and has a rust spot near her gas tank that needs help) but she’s ours and we love her, and we’re glad to have her back. God is good.
