Goodbye UTA...Hello Yaris

My UTA bus pass expires on September 15th, but I am retiring it early due to the fact that I finally got my new car!!! I will no longer have to deal with creepy guys on the bus and fend them off with a fake engagement ring and earbuds that don't really work. I won't have to be packed in with 30 smelly bodies on a bus late at night after class. No more trax downtown alone in the dark and no more having to leave for work 50 mintues before I'm even supposed to start. I am grateful that I was able to have some sort of transportation for the summer, but I'm so excited to have my car.

It is a blue '08 Toyota Yaris and it is a stick. It is sooooooooo stinkin' cute. I took it up to salt lake to Froot's car wash and had it cleaned out really well. She looks great. I've yet to give her a name, but it is a she that is temporarily just called "Baby". I registered her this morning and she's got her plates and everything. I broke her in by putting 200 miles on her today, it was easier to do than I thought. She took me to the airport, home, Checko's work, Mango's house and a couple other spots. It was great. Oh ya, and those 200 miles only used a quarter tank of gas. :D

We should start a Yaris car club!!! I am way excited for you that you finally got your car and I am glad I could help and join in on the excitement. It was funny watching you run towards your car screaming when you got off work and it was waiting for you in the parking lot. They do get way good gas mileage and they are just pretty much awesome. Like you said, the best part is you can come and go as you please and you don't have to travel with creepers anymore!!!
