The tunaboat.... to the g-ma..... to LT RED!!!


I never dreamed at getting such a beauty!

I have always been blessed to have something to drive. I got to drive my parents suburban (aka tunaboat) in high school. People always made comments but I was able to drive my volleyball team around which is where it got its nickname.

When I was getting ready to head to college I got the g-ma car from my grandma Mumford. At a family reunion once, I drove her home and she was just amazed of how good of a driver I was. She never stopped talking about it and when my dad showed interested in the car she gave it to me because I was the best driver. I love my grandma so much. She passed away a few months after that. The g-ma car has definately held out longer then I thought it would. It had its good times and its bad but it got me through my time in logan. It was named the g-ma car after my friend luke made a comment about how it looks like a grandma car. I told him that it was my grandmas car....boom. haha it was funny. My friend Bryanna told me she would miss watching my speedometer. It goes crazy and she never could tell how I knew how fast I was going.....well you must be one with the grandma car. It is official the g-ma car is dead. I will miss it and the memories!

But not that much. I was lucky that my parents stubbled across the cougar. They were driving around a neighborhood in my stake and spotted it. It is a stick shift so that has been a challenge learning how to drive it. After a few weeks on the road, I must say I am not that bad. I LOVE it! and I am a LUcKY girl! My dad and I named it LiTtle RED. After we named it, I remembered that that was what my grandpa mumford would call me when I went to visit him. Just a fun fact.

  2. What?! I can't believe you have moved on again. Bitter/sweet moment. In all honesty I thought the g-ma car was a goner after our camping trip, but alas it prevailed. Yay to Little Red!!!!!!
