"That sir, would be my ride."

Stan and I have shared a car ever since we started dating, seven-plus years ago. It's saved on car and insurance payments, but cost on time and did give us a headache or two, make that one hundred and two.

But now, our saga is over. We are the proud owners of a 1995 Ford Escort Hatchback. Yes, I know. We are the awsome.

The Green Machine

We bought it for a mere $700. $100 less than my first car that I bought at 16, sixteen years ago. That was a Subaru GLF. A hatchback piece of tin that drove me and my high school / college friends all over this town. I just wish I still had the tapes that were in that car.
