Times Like These


I'm sitting at the "Presidential" car wash on Magnolia waiting for my Mazda3. Something I've done many times before, but this time is different... This is the last time the 3 and I will be here together. In a couple hours I'll be picking up my new car and dropping my sturdy friend off at Carmax, where hopefully she'll find a good home.

We've been through a lot together, this car and I... I still remember that inaugural drive off from the dealership with my very first new car: hanging with Kristie W. blaring tunes out of the sound system.



Day she got her Cali Plates


This girls been with me through good times and bad, from a tough first year at grad school to many great Santa Barbara trips and that first drive-on to backstage at Disneyland.


Kenosha, WI on route to San Fran...

She had a little trouble with the snow and cold the night before


A little less than 2 years ago we arrived in LA together ready to start real life. We've actually been cross country 3 times, to San Fran and back before coming out here.


Wyoming


She's been a great car. Here's hoping her next owner is good to her, and cheers to our ongoing adventures.


Arrival in California


Thanks for the journey old friend. Every time I see a black 3 drive by, I'll wave hello.
