R.I.P. Woomobile (1988-2004)

By Eric | April 23, 2004 9:19 am


Woo Mobile (nee Mom’s Car) (1988-2004) of North Tonawanda, NY, April 20, 2004, beloved car of Eric J Bonus, dearest transportation for James, Linda, Amanda and Jacob Bonus, also for many friends and relatives. No prior visitation. A memorial service will be held at Crittenden Way Apartments on Saturday, April 24th. Funeral services were arranged by Frontier Auto Wrecking, 493 Young Street, Tonawanda. Mr. Mobile was a 1988 Ford Escort, licensed to drive in the state of New York, and served as a “student’s car” for 6 years, with a short stint in Lockport, NY, followed by a 5 year tour of duty at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Mr. Mobile will be most fondly remembered for his decorative stickers adorning the trunk lid and windows, and for terrible music blaring loudly from his speakers. Memorial donations in Mr. Mobile’s name may be made to the “Pay For The Sonata Fund” or instead deposited directly into the account of Eric Bonus.

    Yes Mr. Mobile has now given up his place in the driveway for a stronger more virile competitor

    Aye! Thanks for all the wonderful comments and thoughts… Also keep in mind that Mr Woo Mobile was an organ donor, as pointed out by Jake, and also that the Woo’s spot in the driveway has now been taken over by, as Dad said, the more virile Mr Corvette ๐Ÿ™‚

    I think Mr. Corvette deserves some respect as well, how about some pictures? ๐Ÿ™‚

    Well mr. Corvette is sleeping in the garage for now until woken up by the kiss of DMV plates. At which time he will pose for a formal photo shoot. With pictures at eleven at Woopop.com

    I’m sure the WooMobile’s having a rollicking good time up there with my two Daytonas and beloved ’85 Caprice Classic…it’s in a better place.

    Hey just think we bought the distributer from Frontier and they just got it back and then some! Now they can sell it to some other poor student.

    make that poor *unsuspecting* student. Besides, if they let you rummage around, someone is due to steal the stickers…

    Can you imagine that? Steal the stickers, the car falls apart like that scene from the Blues Brothers!
