I was going to post a picture of the car, but we just got a new computer this week, and so the picture is not on the new computer, and I have no idea yet how to get it on there. So just imagine the beauty with me for a sec. A once tan colored, 17 year old car, 185K + miles, hubcaps rattling as you drive, and the random cosmetic defect from age. It was a good car for us for a long time. I've had some good times in it in college and since we have been married. That little car sure made a lot of trips from Utah to Arizona during my nine year of ownership. We sold it to a neighbor/friend who needed a cheap car to get to work and back. So it was a perfect deal for both of us. It was a good car...
Long live my little "Tiger" car! (that's what me and my roommates named it in college) My boys are really going to miss it. I don't know why, but they thought that car was so cool.

It's amazing how sentimental we can be toward our vehicles. We cried when we sold our Toyota.
I can't believe you still had the Toyota. lol
I cried when I traded in my first car.
You gotta love those old cars- I drove an oldsmobile Firenza station wagon we I went to college-it was great-such good memories!
I am shocked. Janette has always proclaimed proudly that your entire family are Toyota people. Like there is no other kind of car out there. I hope Patrick's new truck is a Toyota or else you might be looking at banishment from the Shumates!
You can see the P from our front yard. I'll put a picture up when I get the chance.
If it makes you feel better, when we got married Ty had a "Jimmy" and it was time to let it go. So when we sold it, He had to have his pic taken next to the car. I thought he was nuts. It was pretty funny.
