49My first car was a “boat.”  An old maroon Chevy Impala I bought off my aunt and uncle.  We called it the USS Bierstedt.  ;)   It ran; it had a/c and heat.  But thanks to only an am radio, I had to drive around with my boombox and d batteries.  (seriously!)

The high school/college friends that knew me back then would probably remember many trips to the beach or the Flagship in that car.  Memories…

My parents bought my second vehicle.  A cute, little, green Chevy Cavalier.  I was told it was very “me.”  Great used vehicle.  Bad 52safety ratings.  Started having some problems with it (including not being able to roll down my driver’s side window).  And I wanted something more.

In 2001, Nathan and I bought me a 2002 blue Chevy Silverado.  I was happy!  The perfect color, look, and features I wanted.  Incredibly reliable vehicle.  Hit 100,000 miles a couple of years ago.  Turned 10 years old this month.  And I traded her in yesterday.

What’s next for me? 

Here are pics of me almost exactly ten years ago.  Maybe I’ll post pics tomorrow of my new _____.
