This was my first car (that I didn't have to share with my sister). This was actually the first car that I ever REALLY wanted. When they first came out in 2000 I was kind of obsessed with them and couldn't wait to turn 16 so I could drive one. One fall weekend of 2000 when I was out of town at a speech tournament, my sweet Father traded in his huge suburban for the Beetle. I couldn't believe it when my mom came to pick us up from the school that weekend in the new Beetle. My senior year of high school my dad gave me this car and I couldn't have been more excited or grateful!
My dad and I saying good bye to the silver bullet.
Thanks to Missy for naming my car my freshman year of college. There have been thousands of great memories in that car and only a handful of bad ones - most involving some kind of vehicle malfunction. I'm a little sad to see her go, but realize that it's just another step in being free to leave the country.

Oh the good ole days in the bullet... sad to see her go. Maybe she and Daisy will meet again someday.
