Well, the deed is done. I said goodbye to Ruby this evening & brought home the Mazda CX5. I only teared up a little. It was time. Ruby even let me know it was time as we noticed a crack on the dash as we drove her to the dealership. I was shocked. As much as I protected that car from the ceramic tint even on the windshield, to her almost always being either covered in a garage, carport or under a car cover, conditioning the dash regularly, even had a dash cover to use when she was outside & still it cracked. Things are starting to go south. The fabric is coming loose from the door panels too. Mechanically, she is still awesome, but I am not able to race any more or tolerate being out in the heat at car shows & events. Just time for a new phase of life. Anyway. Here are the last pics of Ruby & some of the new car. BTW, I named the new one Ruby Too.
