Today Christina and I said goodbye to Beastie Boy, the truck/SUV/AUV/vehicle that has carried us around Indonesia for the past year and a half. I've never really known what type of vehicle it was since it didn't quite fit the styles of vehicles in the States. I think it's listed as a minibus or something like that in the registration docs.
Anyhow, some friends of our nicknamed the loud diesel-guzzling machine soon after we purchased the vehicle and the name seemed to fit. The loudness and smell of the vehicle was part of the reason we sold it. Also, it was rather large. It was great for when we traveled around with lots of friends but most of the time it's just me and Christina. Many of our expat friends have left or are leaving so it's mostly just us now. We're switching to a smaller but not too small vehicle. Hopefully it runs as well as Beastie Boy. It ran well despite its other qualities. We'll miss you Beastie Boy.
