that predates even me...1989 Mark bought himself a new car- many of you have seen it- it's been around the block quite a few times by now- that good ol' white Probe- He picked me up for our first date in it, numerous road trips- we've even camped in it- reclining the seeats as far as they would go and camping at a park after a long day of driving. It has traversed the west coast up and down, been with us in Texas (where we brought Amy home from the hospital in it- I tell you it is not easy to get a carseat in and out of a 2 door car!) and back to California- his rugged little commuter "sports" car- and then across the country here to Massachusetts. It never gave us any major problems, and ran pretty darn good as long as you fed it enough oil.
Last night as we drove it onto the car lot, the odometer flipped over to 157,777 miles- it was built Ford tough, alright!
Last night we said goodbye, and brought home a new commuter car- a new 2009 Mercury Milan- "Vivid Red" with all the bells and whistles Mark wished he had opted for with the Probe almost 20 years ago. It also fills all my requirements- which were pretty simple really- 4 doors instead of 2! It was cute watching him smile as he drove off to work this morning.
