now that we're moving, our biggest hurdle is trying to find a way to move all our cars 1300 miles. :( so, we've decided to sell 2 of them, and the first to go is W's integra. we actually first met because of his integra, his turbocharged integra, back when i was into all that. and now, after all this time, even tho i want nothing more than for him to get rid of it (we named it "bucket" cuz it used to drive like one!) i'm actually sad to see it go. he cleaned it up real good, with a fresh coat of wax so it would sparkle. we took some pictures of it and posted it on craigslist, and literally in 2.5 hours, he got over 30 emails, the first one sent just minutes after he posted it. woa. we did not expect this kind of response at all! he asked more than bluebook, and apparently this is a highly sought after car (i guess cuz it's a gs-r?). one guy wanted to drive out last night from santa rosa! but we didn't want to wait til midnight for him. so W's out now, driving around with our first responder.
next to go will be our maxima. W originally bought that car when he was commuting from south city to pleasanton and wanted a nice, comfortable, reliable sedan that was cheap and he could abuse. we found the maxima for quite a deal, and will practically be giving it away to someone else soon (the value doesn't hold very well). that will leave us with my integra, his CRX, and our NSX. he plans to drive the CRX til we get his STI after we move. of course, that is, after we give rusty a fresh, new coat of paint (he's called rusty for a goooooood reason!).
i still can't believe we're actually selling our cars! now we won't be able to shock people when we say, "we have 5 cars...and a motorcycle." but it will make it a million times easier to move when we're down to just 3 cars, i'll tell you that.
in other news...
on friday night, we went to the eagles concert with W's dad, stepmom, stepsister and her husband (and their 17 month old). it was a "family outing." i'm not a huge eagles fan, but i do like their songs, only knowing what i hear on the radio and on TV. but hearing them live was a great experience. i always like to listen to real musicians play and sing live and these guys did not let anyone down. they played for 3 hours with only one short break after the first hour! i'd sure like to be on whatever they're on to maintain that kind of energy!! there was a trumpeter (trumpeteer?) and it only made me want to play the trumpet even more! (btw, the baby did great - she slept thru the whole thing! now that's what i call having someone sing me to sleep!)
