getting lost in the meijer's parking lot

I walked out of Meijer's this morning with a cart full of groceries and I was lost. The problem wasn't forgetting where I parked but remembering what car I was driving!

After about 10 aimless minutes of wandering up and down row one, I was struck with the realization that I was looking for my old Aztec (which my family loving calls "Lightening").

I laughed and immediately saw the car that would drive me home, my "new" Black Escape.

I immediately thought this would be a slightly funny blog post. As a special treat, I'll throw in some historical pictures of the cars my parents have generously given to me to drive!
Car #1

Name: Bruce (named by my twin brother)
Model: 1995 White Dodge Caravan
Random facts: The sliding door fell off at Cross Country practice one day. This car was shared mutually between my brother and I...but mainly I drove it everywhere because I was the selfish twin!
* That is my awesome twin on top of Bruce...This van was pretty much sweet!

Car #2

Name: Eggplant (or lovingly called Eggie by myself)
Model: 1995 Eggplant Ford Explorer
Random Facts: Loved to guzzle gas and show off her engine light.







Car #3

Name: Lightening (named by my father after we saw the movie Cars)
Model: 2001 Red Pontiac Aztec
Random Facts: I loved this car but it developed many problems in the short year and a half I had it...especially a liking for making unecessary noises and refusing to brake at appropriate times.



Car #4

NO PICTURE YET! :]

Name: To Be Decided. Any Ideas? (Shadow, Bullet, Ebony, and Maynard have all been proposed)
Model: 2001 Ford Escape
Random Facts: The Escape is actually my favorite car and has been for a long time. I just really like the way it looks and rides...it also has a 6 CD changer and has already driven quite a large number of miles!
