Faithful Friend















This 1997 Mazda Protege LX is the best car ever! It's true. It has 160,000 miles on it and still running like a champ.
It never left me stranded.
It didn't eat away at our life savings with repairs here and there.
It is a really great car!
This car was purchased in Puyallup, WA, traveled by sea to Hawaii and then to Alabama and moved with us from Alabama to Tennessee and on to Virginia.
This car has carried us on many adventures and vacations.
It is the car that we drove to bring Eli home from the hospital, Matt to the hangar to leave for Iraq, pick Matt up upon returning home from Iraq, and the car we were traveling in when Gabe decided to have seizure.
It made 100s of trips to and from the airport to pick up guests.
This is the first car Matt and I bought together. It holds so many memories and has so much life left in it. We actually checked into the cost to ship it to Germany because we love it so much! ($2000 - ouch not that much).
After a week of posting it for sale on Craig's list and driving it around with a "for sale" sign in the window, today we parked it in a parking lot out on the main road and after a few short hours it was sold. We are a bit sad.
Goodbye my friend! You served us well.
