We decided that, before she died on us, and before we drove to Florida and before the tax refund sweetness in TX for cars older than 10 years expired...it was time to get rid of the Corolla. She was such a great car...good times and memories for all. Marc and his sister shared the car at BYU when we met, dated, and graduated. She drove us safely across this country and back many times.
Since the state was just planning to scrap her for parts, I thought it would be fun for the kiddos to paint her before we turned her in. I mean, come on, what kid wouldn't want to legally paint a car, right!? They loved it. I am sure they would have painted all night if we didn't cut them off to go to sleep. It was the perfect ending to a great legacy.
On the flip side...we joined the ranks of mini van drivers. We are officially a family now I suppose. The kids think it is the coolest car we could possibly own. We wouldn't go that far...but it is remarkable how much easier it is to tune out certain things when they are sitting so far away! After seeing the YouTube video , they totally call it a swagger wagon. I love it!

Ahhh the memories in that car! It was well used! I love how carefully they are painting. Wonder what kind of fun they'd have had with spray paint ;).
