"You don't Want to Miss This"

Because the car situation is pretty much consuming our lives at this point (family van rides to work and school are only fun for so long), I thought we could lighten the mood up and share our ten best moments with our departed Corolla.  It sold this weekend, with three non working doors, an engine that wouldn't start, and a whole lot of Kevin snack crumbs on the floor, for a nice $1,000.  And our favorite quote from one of the Craigslist applicants?  "I don't want to miss this."  Yeah dude... we don't want to miss your odd decision making either.  
But, as predicted, we were both a bit sad when it left our house for the last time.  Also, as predicted, Kevin played the uber lawyer and made the buyer sign a document stating he wouldn't come after us for unknown defects in the car.  So he can sleep better at night, and I don't have to worry about a crazy disgruntled buyer at my door during the day. 

So without further delay, our Top Ten List:
1. It was our getaway car when we got married
2. We went road-tripping to multiple law schools in that car, and although we didn't get into any of them, it was still good times, and good history lessons.
3. It was named, the "White Knight" by Kevin. 
4.  Kevin driving a long distance, on the highway, with the hood held down by a bungy cord.  We're all about safety. 
5.  It brought home my very first LIVE Christmas tree on it's roof.
6.  It has aided us in some romantic moments, and that's the furthest I'll say.
7.  It was our only car for the first 4 years of marriage.  And we still liked each other.
8.  Getting called Kevin's mom when he got dropped off at law school... because who else would he be getting dropped off by in a white Corolla?
9.  Kevin ramming into a concrete wall with it in the work parking garage (and we all thought I was the bad driver).
10.  Being kept humble for 8+ years simply by the car that we drive.  We could think we were the coolest cat at the party, but when your door won't open, you just accept your nerdy disposition. 

More car posts to come!  (Are you excited yet?).  We haven't even begun to discuss the adventures of buying another car:).
