James and Suzanne have been "car challenged" all summer and were trying to come up with a quick fix that would get them through the next three weeks of their jobs. Long story short, they ended up buying this sweet 1984 Bronco II for the grand price of $5.00; that's five dollars. I guess it pays to have "connections".
It had been sitting in someone's field for a while, but has brand new tires, runs well and gets them where they want to be. Suzanne drove it to work the first day because James had to take the Honda out of town. To her surprise and shock, she found a hornet's nest in the back on the way to work. Once at work (Gemtek Pest Control), the technicians took a look at it for her and discovered 17 more hornets nests! Now they are in the process of going through it with a fine toothed comb and cleaning it up.
Isn't it true that something free (or close to it) becomes a cherished thing?

Too funny! I ran in to Suzanne's brother on campus today and we both had a good laugh at their "new addition." Maybe they'll donate it for Jess to drive when Scott gets back! haha
That is awesome! Now that's the way a young married couple gets through college - finding a sweet arrangement like that rather than going out and borrowing a whole bunch of money to buy a new car. Awesome! That made my day!
I'm almost jealous of James and Suzanne's new car. James will have to keep it under lock and key. On a side note, when I saw the title of this post I had no idea what to expect.
Good catch, Ben. I was wondering if anyone would comment on that.
