Well, it appears we’re doing something completely reasonable and responsible again… starting another vehicle project.
Which means, sadly, it’s time to find a new home for Phylis, our 2001 Mercury Villager Sport.
Phylis hasn’t been with us very long, but she has absolutely earned her keep. This old girl can haul a ridiculous amount of stuff. She’s been a lifesaver on more than one vinyl buying adventure, swallowing up boxes and boxes of records like it was nothing and hauling them back to Metz without complaint.
We’re genuinely going to miss her.
But a new project has entered the chat, and Phylis has been nominated to help fund it.
So, in a beautiful example of the circle of life at Metz & Co.:
Phylis gets sold → money goes into new vehicle → new vehicle inevitably gets used to haul more old stuff back to Metz.
It’s a flawless business model. Please don’t examine it too closely.
If you’ve ever thought, “I need a wonderfully weird, low-mileage early 2000s minivan that can haul an alarming quantity of records, antiques, kids, furniture, or questionable Marketplace purchases,” your moment is now!

Godspeed, Phylis. You’ve hauled a lot of vinyl in your short time with us.
