My Little MR2

It was back in Feb of 2008 when we met. I was looking for a little pick-up to replace the one my Dad took back from me. One night at the dealership I saw the coolest little old car and I thought it would be cool if the guy traded it in so I could buy it instead! My wish came true. I guess that a couple of other salesman thought the same thing but I beat them to it. They were pretty mad and even more jealous. I got the little thing for $600.00. It needed a lot of work but I had big plans. I was going to fix it up and take care of it so I could have it forever. I joined the MR2 owner's club online right away. I even saw a little yellow MR2 at a tattoo parlor and flipped around to go check it out. I went inside and talked to the guy for a while and he even came with me to pick up my to-go order at Bajio grill. On the way he told me about how he has a buddy in Salt Lake that would help me paint my car. I was so excited! I could never find him again so I thought about spray painting it myself. That made me nervous because I didn't know what kind of paint to use or how to do it. I tried to look on the internet for tips, but in the end I just never got anything done and it's still grey and a bit ugly. 

My birthday was the next month and all I wanted was money to buy things for my car. I went to the junkyard and found a spoiler and a cool shift nob. I also put a new stereo in it (I even put the speakers in myself). I would keep the inside clean all the time.  It wasn't a very fast car at all, it was really slow until you got it up to 4000 RPM's and then it seemed to have a turbo. It was a blast to drive though! I would go underneath the bars that block the entrance to the UVU parking lot because it was so low to the ground and it could turn on a dime. I would always go on the road that had road construction so I could weave in and out of the cones really fast. One time I even took a trip to Idaho to see Seth and to go to Katie's wedding. I just put it on cruise at 80 mph and got there in no time. 

I had a lot of good times in my little car. Then I got stuck in the snow and the little engine couldn't take the strain to get out and one of the rods broke. I could not afford to fix it and I knew that I needed to get that truck that I was looking for before but it was hard to say goodbye to my little car. I put it on KSL and sold it, Brody came and picked it up today. I am glad he got it though because he loves it too and wants to fix it up nice like I was going to. I got his phone number and told him I would keep in touch, I want to see it when its all done. 

THE END
