In the honor of Mitsi

Last week we said goodbye to our dear beloved Mitsi. Mitsi has been like a member of the family to us, and she has served us well. But her miles were getting too high and she was losing value. (in dollar signs. she'll never lose value in our hearts) haha! i wish i was kidding right now, but I'm not. We loved that Mitsi.

Ok, who is Mitsi?

This is Mitsi:



Our dear Mitsi.

 The day we got her, was the day we became a one car family. (exactly 2 years and 2 months ago) We got Mitsi because we needed something slightly bigger than a car with a rack on top to carry our butts to Washington DC to sell APX for the summer. That trip put like 20,000 miles on her, i think. something like that. We saw half of the country (for the first time) with her, the east coast, the south (that summer we went to tennessee too). She has been such a peach the entire time. So much has happened in that car. We've gone on so many trips with her (ok , just camping trips, but still) This woman has been through it!!!  And just like every other car I've had to say goodbye to, I cried a little when we had to say goodbye and just leave her there in the dark parking lot. I feel like we betrayed her! (are these normal feelings?)




But....in honor of Mitsi and the love we have for her, we got a new Mitsi!
We traded her in for a car EXACTLY like her. EXACTLY. Only differences: New Mits is Silver and three years newer , and has less miles. thats it! Now THAT'S love.




People ask why? And we ask why not? She has been a great car. Sure, we'd love something bigger, better and newer. Heck, we'd love to have 2 cars, or even 3 cars! Although that is completely unnecessary. Our dream car is a honda pilot. But we don't NEED it. This car fits our family perfectly. And since I'm not in the baby making business, I'm not worried about having enough room for kids..

We have a little dilemma though. She needs a name. Our car salesman was named Felix. So, we first started calling her Fefe. Then, I realized I hate that  name, because it reminds me of a crappy little poodle. I hate poodles. So then , andy suggests "Betty" like "BettyBishi" (mitsubishi) . We tried that for a day, and it just didn't stick for some reason. We want a name with "ee" on the end. We thought of  "Betsy", but that's not really working either. Then we thought of names that you could make with the word MITSUBISHI. i like "ibus" but andy doesn't. We want an older ladies name. They seem to work best.

Any suggestions???


"Mitsi" just stuck. It was the perfect name. So now we refer to the cars as "old mits" and "new mits". But , that can't go on for long. She needs a proper name of her own.

So...when you think you see me driving around in a silver car that looks exactly like my old one, and you want to wave because you think it's me, it IS me! or andy. most likely andy. because he has the car all day. I won't get into the 2 car thing. I'm trying to be positive about it , because if not, i just get really bitter and angry at people who have more than us. (which most people have at least 2 cars) We're finally coming to terms with the fact that there IS no justice in the world and if we want something, we have to work about 65 times harder than the average person to get it.  I'm stopping right now! stopping. at least we got into low income housing! it could be worse! we could be on the outside again, watching these rich buttholes using our tax dollars to buy big trucks and flat screen TVs while they claim to be "poor" so they can live in low income housing! BAH! I'm stopping RIGHT NOW!!!

goodbye.
