Kicking the Tires

Last week I had to say goodbye to a very important piece of equipment. Lucille, my dear old, 2003, Hyundai Accent.

As you can see she was a red headed beauty but her lack of air conditioning finally got to me and I couldn't take it any longer.

Strangely enough, I was really sad to see her go. We had been through so much tog

ether. One time she and I drove 14 hours straight from Chicago to Washington DC. We drove home in snow storm from some tiny town in Indiana ending up at one point facing the wrong way on the entrance ramp to the highway because we had spun around on the ice and snow.

But like most women her age, her worst fear has come true. She has been replaced by a younger woman.

Say, "Hello" to Bettie. Bettie is a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring Edition. When I bought her, I told my Mother I had bought a small station wagon. She said that it sounded like I was turning into a suburban dad. It couldn't be any further from the truth. As soon as I heard that I went onto Cafe Press and ordered a bumper sticker that reads, "Devastation Wagon."

Much of my blog is about the adventures I have out there bringing magic to the people. So, I am sure there will be an up coming story or two featuring Bettie.
