How to fix a broken tailgate
Our mechanic was able to
track down a used tailgate
at a local junk yard for only 100 bucks. 25 for delivery and another 25
for hammer adjustments and lubrication.
Anna thinks it looks like
just another tailgate, but for me it seems like an improvement. I know
the color doesn't match, but that shade of red has some sort of
emotional charge I can't seem to put my finger on. Maybe it's connected with that
scene in the original Matrix movie where a woman walks by in a red dress
during Neo's first self aware simulation?
There's hardly a scratch on
it, which implies it grew up with a silver spoon in its mouth and lived
a life of privilege not unlike our cat Huckleberry.

I think the red jazzes it up! Fancy! Excellent find.
