Dead Car, New Car



The Silber Schlampe (as named by Gavin and his friend Andy when they locked me out of my car until I agreed to the name) passed on to car heaven the beginning of November 2009.
She served us well, 3 accidents (only one resulting in a minor scratch was my fault) taking us across country and back and getting Gavin back and forth from California almost every other weekend for a summer during an internship, not to mention all the around town miles we put on her. She was bought December of 2000 and served us well.






So now we have a new car (Finn wants to call it the Limo) a Mazda 6.
PS can you spot Waldo in all the new car pictures and Little Waldo in one?

I think that was a touching a fitting tribute. May he rest in peace.

Losing a car feels like losing an old friend. That car did serve you well and the new looks quite posh!

D.

P.S. glad to see you posting again.

Dear Maren,
I propose you name your new car the Schwarze Schlampe, thereby combining your love of the old Schlampe with your love of the new black one.
Sincerely,
Andy
PS. I have no recollection of locking you out of the car...but it sounds like something we probably would have done.
