Cars new and old

Today I pay tribute to the ones that got away. For those of you who don't know me I like to 4x4 and get my cars muddy. 4 Years ago if you asked Pauline what her dream car would be she probably would have said a Cadillac Escalade. That is a nice car and all but it doesn't look too good if it were muddy. When Pauline and I started Dating I was driving one of the coolest cars around. A 1984 VW Vanagon and boy did I love to rod it and take it to the desert. I soon realized that she would have nothing to do with such a stunning Van so while she was away I bought Red Jeep TJ. I loved that jeep and I would take any chance I could to articulate the suspension or blast up a dune. Then Colby came along and Red jeep was a pain to get the car seat in the back of so another change was made. We let red jeep go and got Purple jeep. Purple jeep had 4 doors and room for a stroller in the back. And it even had a lift and tires which made me like it. We also got rid of her Stratus and got Black Altima, fast and sleek. It could do 110mph up a 6% grade. Don't ask me how I know that I just do. Well time has come again for a change. I think that I may have rubbed off on Pauline a little bit. A few years ago Toyota introduced a New FJ Cruiser. Colby and I took an opportunity to go the R-Mountain in Rexburg where a Toyota trail team was showcasing the new FJ and showing off its stock off-road prowess. It was awesome right out of the box. I have been wanting one for quite some time and after being married to me Pauline has change her Dream car also. Yesterday we traded Black Altima for one with all the bells and whistles and we love it so much. For now it will be called Black FJ until we can think of a more fitting name. I cant wait to get the keys from Pauline so I can see how it looks muddy. Now when I get stuck in Purple Jeep Pauline can come pull me out in her FJ. Colby also loves it and wants to get a Blue and a Green one for himself.

Sweet VW

Wow, Cody. I could actually hear you speaking as I read this post. It's totally YOU! I love it! Glad you got your Black FJ and I'm glad Pauline will be around to get you and Purple Jeep out of trouble. Good luck to Colby on getting his Green and Blue FJ's. Awesome.

Yay Pauline you actually got the car you've been wanting, that's awesome. You'll have to bring it to my new house sometime and we can swap my house is bigger than your car stories. Just kidding. But YAY!!!
