Bye Bye Corolla

If you know Russ than you know he has a few loves in his life. Besides me, he has the xbox, his cereal, Domino, and his 2003 Toyota Corolla.....along with the stereo system he installed himself (just by "googling it") with his sub and amp. That stereo was his relaxation. He would roll the windows down and listen to his music loud. There were lots of times up in Utah were we would take drives and just dance in the car. It really has some fun memories. With the new job Russ got a company car. Since then he has dreaded the day where he would have to say goodbye to his beloved car. He has been driving it whenever possible to spend some quality time with is love before he had to say goodbye. Well that day finally came.

We posted it on Craigslist on Sunday. Monday was Labor Day and Russ had the day off. He had gotten at least about 10 calls, texts, and email in the morning and we showed the car all day. By the afternoon we got a cash offer on the car and that was that, done deal. Russ had to say goodbye to his little friend. No more bumping with his base. He took all his colorful scented trees out along with his cool blue lights he installed himself inside. He was pretty sad about it. Before the new owners took off with the car (which we sold it to some people buying it for their 18 year old daughter that is a high school senior) I ran to get one last picture of Russ and his car. The poor thing held his license plate upside down. It's sad and funny at the same time. Russ said "well, it probably represents my mood..."

I think the only thing that makes him feel better is this....

Bye Bye Corolla.
