100,000 Miles

It feels like only yesterday when I walked into the Honda dealership to pick up my NEW car!! I had never really "ordered" a car but this one I did. I had to wait months to get my black Accord with black leather seats! Arizona didn't have many black on black cars so it had to be ordered from another state! I also had my custom chrome rims and tires put on as well to add the finishing touch!! The dealership finally called me and told me it was ready so I jumped in my car and drove back to AZ to pick it up. I walked into the dealership with my Mom (she was taking my old car home) and just like anytime you buy a car started the paperwork. I felt like I signed my name a million times but after about 30 minutes the guy finally said "do you want to see your car?" Ummm...hell yeah!!!

I seriously felt like a kid on the MTV show Sweet 16 when I saw my car!! Yes, I knew I was getting it and I paid for it myself but the excitement of actually seeing it was just...well you have seen the show!! Oh, and yes I did jump up and down and almost cry! My baby was beautiful and the most amazing car I had every seen!!! I was in LOVE instantly!!!

I got my baby (I never named my car so it's just baby) back in 2002 and I still have it today in 2010!! This may not seem long to you but this is the LONGEST I have EVER had a car in my whole entire life!! It's crazy because I normally get bored with my car but I have never felt like that towards this car. I love it today as much as I did back in 2002!!

Now the reason I took you all down memory road was to share this monumental moment with you all. Today, January 5th 2010, my car hit 100,000 miles!!! I can't believe it! It feels like it came up so quickly but really it has been almost been seven years!
Here it is right before it hit......
There it is 100,000 miles and yes as you can see I'm taking the photo as I drive but I was barely going 40mph so it was all good!! : )

My baby had taken me to places like San Jose, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tucson, Tempe, and course several cities in between!! I can't wait to see where the next 100,000 miles take me!!

I would like to give a personal thank you to my Father who helped me keep my car maintenanced so that it could get to 100,000 miles!! Thanks Daddy!! You're the best!!

More to come
