speaking of the passat

well, due to multiple circumstances (an effort to go green nearing the middle of the list,  traffic and a very real threat to have my car towed at the top), last year i decided to get rid of my nice yet unnecessarily pricey vw passat. we never really had a connection.



sold.

bought, in a throw of craigslist confidence: a 1980 toyota corona. yes, a corona, like the beer but just before they had to take the name off and turn it into a corolla in fear of lawsuit. i quite enjoyed it's company for the time being. it had comfy seats. radio. and it was a drab beige color that reminded me of old communist cars. it looked a lot like this:


but alas, it never went as far as i needed it to go and i just couldn't keep it. i sold it, not-running, to a hobbyist. yay! so now i've made room for my newest vehicle, recently purchased on a delightful roadtrip to chehalis with my one and only john-robert. (thank you again, john)


my new baby, a yamaha qt50. riding on a moped is so much more fun than being in a car. it's like a daily adventure, even when i'm just going to work. and what's better than adventures?!

i'm thinking a gang involving voluntary bloodshed and crazy antics is most likely in order.

  1. Will you please bring this down when you come to visit? And also, is there any way 2 people can ride on it at a time?
