Honda Odyssey 2004

Former North Carolinian, "Big Red" Odyssey (age 10) passed away after a short struggle with a failed transmission. Faithful to the end, Red coasted into a local car dealership and was deemed worthy of a trade-in.

Red will be remembered for his strength and fortitude, having hauled cords of firewood, six women running in a 205-mile relay, dogs, bunnies, and of course, children and their paraphernalia. His life was not without struggle and included shattered windows and minor collisions with trees, low brick walls (too low to see when backing out of a tiny parking space, IMHO), and a parked car (also low in terms of sight line).

Red will live in the memory of the many children he transported, but most of all by his driver. He was preceded in death by a 1993 Honda Civic.

  1. So sorry about you car! Transmission issues are usually a killer, and if the car could had been a tad younger, you could have just replaced it. But since it's old and has had plenty of miles under its belt, getting a new one was probably a good idea. Looks like you haven't had a bad experience on the transmission or engine before this one, so you must have taken care of your old car quite well!
