New Wheels

So if you read the last post you may have caught that I had to get the Subaru washed on Friday. The reason was that we had someone coming to buy it on Saturday.

We bought the Subaru new almost 9 years ago and it is sad to see it go. We bought it one week after our wedding and drove it through the Canadian Rockies on our honeymoon. I drove the Subaru from Idaho to our new home nearly six years ago and drove it on my long commutes to school and student teaching. Tim has driven it to work for the past year and a half. It is the car that we brought Ellie home from the hospital in. There are so many memories all wrapped up in our little car.

But the time has come. We can't justify spending any more money on it at the repair shop. It is time for the Subaru to find a new home with someone who knows how to repair and maintain it. The guy who bought it is a Subaru repair technician who is going to fix it all up and give it to his sister. He assured us that it still has a long life ahead of it.

And with that we say goodbye to the Subaru... and hello to our new Honda CR-V!

Wow! Cop-catcher red! Watch your speed missy. Lead feet run in the B-family--well, at least with you and me! I've heard dad grumble at how quickly both of us get from point A to point B. He might not be a lead foot in his truck (well, he did unexpectedly test the turbo once and was caught), but he's a known lead foot in the boat....
