- Bought it the month before Lewis was born
- Roughly150 trips to Mississippi and back
- Brought Lewis home from the hospital
- Went to Disney 2 times with an extra special visit to Disney Car care- here we had the experience of riding in a pleasure van with velour seats with no seat belts and the guy was from Arkansas and drove like a bat out of hell
- Went to Dallas
- Went to Cooperstown, NY
- Went to Atlanta for Braves games
- Played Praise Baby for Lewis about 100 times
- Took us to Jacksonville, FL to the Gator Bowl
- Took us to the beach about 25 times
- I once had 4 tickle me Elmos in the back and swiped a parked car at the Summit, they started giggling went I hit him, freaked me out
- The Quest is where 2 of Clara's boyfriends when she was 4 planned to both marry her and assigned certain days for each
- Where I cried when I found out Lewis was going to have another surgery on his feet
- Where I heard so many precious conversations between Rob and his friends, boys love to talk in the car
- It was made in my hometown Canton, MS
- It was thrown up in many times
- It was where I would let Crazy Clara slept in the garage after CASA so she would take a nap (she would fall asleep on the way home)
- One winter Lewis, Sallie and I must have listened to Life is Highway about 50 times
- Where I received so much good news on my cell phone over the years
- One time Sallie's elderly cat Bubba got in my van and I didn't know it until I heard the meow
- One time a cat (I think Sugar) climbed in the front seat and peed on the mat, in the cat's defense I did leave the door open for 15 minutes ( I was on the phone and forgot about it)
- The van that some bag boys said was cool, I don't really know if that was a sincere compliment
- Many trips to Inverness pool
- Inspired Tommy and Sallie to get their own Quest (but it had all the cooler features, nav etc) (Sallie probably could write her own memories of the van)
- Took our dog, Mary, to be put to sleep
- Went to Ozark AL to get our new puppy
- Went to the Prince concert in style with Pam
- It spent about a week at Rickwood Radio
- All these adventures and experiences and my Quest never let me down, just a few hiccups
Thanks for the memories my friend.
love it. now i'm sad that you sold it.
ReplyDeleteMeg, what a great blog! What are the hopes and dreams for the Enclave? How will it ever compare?
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting that you got a new car! Can't wait to check it out :) I have to admit, the Quest was a good van!
