Celica

Last week marked the end of the road for the Celica and myself, after 9 years and 175k miles. And four mailing addresses. And four jobs. And (I think only) 3 speeding tickets.

It was the first new car I bought, right out of college.  I loved driving it, loved driving around with Kate in it, and did not love putting a car seat in the very small back seat.

Here’s a photo from the fall of 2001.

    We can all relate to this in some form. Nothing brings more fond memories as your first car..your first NEW car and your first dad car. Soon enough you’ll buy a post-kids car, maybe a restored Celica, or maybe that GTI post VW’s quality fix program!

    Also bittersweet to see the turn-around at SEM St!
    Another chapter. Some kid will be thrilled to take the controls of a well loved cool car. xxoo
