This
is my 1973 Thing I bought in Randleman North Carolina off of thesamba.com.
I flew up there
and drove it back to Jacksonville Florida. Broke down in Gaston,
South Carolina.
Got it fixed in Lexington, South Carolina and drove home.
What fun I had driving home in my Thing!

Here
are my little puppy's Bear Bear and Sunshine
