Our Sparkly Trooper

HOORAY!!! for our Trooper. It turned over 100,000 miles today. I made Greg take the camera to get a picture; corny, I know. At least we didn't drive around the neighborhood and throw candy out of the car like my family did when our station wagon reached 100,000 miles. Ah, memories.

In our family, we pretty much drive our cars until we can't drive them anymore. We have only had four cars in our married years (15 years): the Probe, Saturn, Trooper and Odyssey. Mainly because we are cheap and we hate car shopping. However, Greg is determined to get a natural gas truck, so send any good deals our way!
The Trooper has been a great car for us. Greg loves driving it, even if it is a sparkly girl car!

So glad to see you're keeping up the 100,000 mile celebration tradition. I am a little disappointed that no candy throwing was included. J/K

Hooray for candy throwing. Dave and I love wearing out our cars and bonding with our cars. Although we bought our subie after it had 100,000 miles so we will throw out candy on the 200,000.

They are still probably picking the candy up from the road side- unless all the dogs got it. It was a great time seeing all you kids throwing candy out the back of the old woody.

LOVE DAD

Tony just parted with his 'sporty' Escort, it was 13 years old and had 173,000 miles on it. I wasn't sad to see it go, but I could tell Tony was a little sad to see it drive away....some lucky highschool girl is going to be sporting it for hopefully another 100,000 miles :)
