the car

I've gotten some requests to hear the story about how someone tried to blow up our car. Our car has been through quite a lot since we bought it in Cincinnati 4 years ago!

- This 1992 Chevy Lumina only had 42,000 miles on it when we bought it in 2007


- Soon after we moved to Cleveland, a storm hit causing a large tree limb to smash it. It was totaled. Since it was only cosmetic damage, we took the money, replaced the windshield, and got a salvage title for this otherwise amazing car :(




- A few months later, someone broke a window to steal a dollar fifty in change

- We've lost several hubcaps (thanks Ohio roads!) and now I just say forget it! Our car is looking so ghetto!

- Just recently (sometime before my trip) I walked by the car--we park it on the street--and noticed the gas cap was on the ground next to the car. I thought someone had tried to ciphen our gas so I went to screw it back in and I noticed a wad of newspaper stuffed in the hole to the gas tank and it had been burned. What in the world??!?!?!?!?

- a couple days later our car got egged but we didn't notice it for a few days. by then it was too late to clean off.

our poor car! Can't wait 'til we have our own garage in which we can park both of our cars. In the meantime, I'm just thankful that we have two awesome cars that work and we don't have to make any payments on!

p.s. we will probably be selling one or both of our cars before we move next year--anyone interested? we'll give you the deal of a life time! :)
