Out with the old, in with the new

Goodbye, Ida. Riding with you has been swell. I will not miss your hotness in the summer, nor your sometimes squeaky breaks. Or your coupe-styleness. You have been a good first car, and gotten great gas mileage, but alas, it is time I bid you adieu, and I do so with pleasure.


Hello, Xandra {X-ann-druh}. Hello to feeling safe and like I'm not sitting on the ground. Hello to 4 doors and 5 whole seats. Hello to a stereo I won't have to replace and real cup holders. The only thing you are missing is an iPod jack and a moon roof, but somehow I think I'll manage. I look forward to our drives ahead.


I have a feeling you're going to outshine Ida. But that's just our little secret.
