this is my little '96 suzuki esteem, i bought her when i was 19 years old while living in oregon. at the time, she was my largest purchase ever of $4,100!
i took this picture today after driving her for the first time in 8 months or so, (michael usually drives her to work when he's not riding his bike.) she's got squeaky upholstery and is starting to get that "old car" smell, but i've been missing oregon a lot lately and it was so nice to be reminded that i still have a little bit of oregon left. :)
i took this picture to show how dirty and forgotten she looked, but it actually makes her look cleaner than she really is. all that it shows is the cobweb on the bumper but she's actually pretty gross. so... use your imagination. :)

Oh, little white Suzuki, I remember you. I remember you right after you came home with Jenny. You were so white and new (and such a nice change after that old grandma car that Jenny used to drive me around in, that stalled inconveniently in the intersection of Irving and 15th street ONE TOO MANY TIMES). We went to the beach a lot together, you, me and Jenny, and we got a lot of sand on your floors. We also went to Ross a lot, and ate hamburgers from Burger King in you more than once, and I even got to star in a movie with you! I'm glad you're still with Jenny, now that she's a California girl, to remind her of home and of all the people from way back when, who love her and miss her still.
aww! (sniff)
that was lovely lacey.
