Sent my road trip companion to the scrap yard yesterday :(
My '08 Escape carried me from Ontario to California, all over the southwest for 4 months, and back to Ontario. Then it took me from Ontario to the Arctic circle in Alaska, and home through Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, etc. Also shorter trips to Ohio and Pennsylvania last summer. I've spent many nights in it, and hundreds or perhaps thousands of hours behind the wheel.
Sadly, the transmission pump rusted through, rapidly lost fluid, and started slipping before I caught it this week. And it's not worth doing a $3k rebuild, so she went to scrap with a strong engine and clean body. Was still running well, had been considering a drive to Florida with it this winter.
Now I get to search for my next road trip companion!
