The Photo and Image Archives

196. These pictures come with a story from the Pacer Page WebChica. Thanksgiving weekend 1999, on the road from Sunriver back home to Portland, Oregon, I was driving along at quite a nice clip, when I spotted, out of the corner of my eye, this Silver Pacer Wagon parked in front of a very run-down roadside motel. I managed to scare the living daylights out of my victim-passenger boyfriend (now husband, so I guess this didn't traumatize him too badly) as I tore off the road and skidded into the gravel parking lot. Although the Pacer was missing four hubcaps and otherwise shoddy in appearance, it was still clearly road-worthy, which certainly counts for something! In my excitement, I took some very off-center photographs, which you see displayed here.
