CARL

Have you seen Italian Job? You know, with Marc Walberg ? (Yum) Well I have. and I loved it! I wanted a mini cooper so bad after that! I almost bought eight years ago. At that point in my life I was married and planning a family though so I bought a practical car. I'm now divorced and didn't ever get those babies so I have regretted it ever since.

The car I bought was getting to the point of no return. I didn't trust it anymore and was thinking about starting to look for a new one. I decided to start looking online to see what was in my budget, next thing I knew I had traded in my old car for my new one! I went the complete opposite) of what I did last time (not responsible and not practical) and got an adorable red Mini Cooper convertible!

Before I move on to my new car though I do have some great things to say about my old one. Sadly I never named it but here is of a list of things that it got me through. I loved this car and it got me through a lot. Whatever crap was going on, at least I had a reliable car.

106,212 miles
17,000 dollars
10 moves
7 Years
3 Sets of tires
2 Windshields
1 Crappy marriage

For a while everything I owned fit inside of this car. The passenger side speaker only worked on the highway. The back windows only rolled down when its cold outside. The second radio preset didn't work and the key-fob only worked for the first two years and the last two months. It was tough to say goodbye.

But now I have a new car. I'm considering it my midlife crisis and his name is Carl. I think we are going to have a great time together.
