With a Thankful Heart! Day 7!

Today I am THANKFUL for my car! Larry!

Yes we name our cars! The Explorer is named "Dora... Dora the Explorer, or the "Exploder" as David sometimes calls it! And my car is called "Larry"
It is my "Piece of treasure" not worth much anymore ha!
Though it is old, shakes violently when sitting idle and has way more new parts in it than the car is even worth I LOVE Larry! He is an Alero Oldsmobile and it has over 140,000 miles on it but it is hanging in there! I have so many amazing memories with that car! It was my first "Big Girl" car I financed it in High school! It has traveled to Mexico for mission trips, Utah for family visits and a TON of other small in state trips!
I drove it when I met David and we spent nights of our dating/engagement laying on the hood stargazing.
It was our getaway car at the reception and is still "scarred" from the wedding vandalism done to it!
It was my official "Nanny" car and protected my precious kiddos!
All the window motors have gone out at some point and one still is!
It has some "cute" little stars in the windshield that have been set but are still there!
It has a nice imprint of someone's hitch in the front bumper from a small fender bender!
It has an even nicer broken tail light cover (just the plastic not the light) from when my dear Mom backed into my sister's car (you should have seen the OTHER car ;)

It has been a wonderful second car and seems to be doing well for its age!

Sure it has stalled on David and I mid left turn or in the middle of driving more times than I can count but it is somewhat reliable. It is paid off which IS indeed the best part!! So for memories and money I sure hope he makes it to 200,00 ;)

Tonight I am THANKFUL for my car!!
