So Long...



 Forever we have talked about our Audi being the kind of car we would run into the ground because we just love it... and then out of the blue, Tanner calls one day from work and tells me that he wants to sell it and get a new car.... what? Mind you, that same day, we purchased a new car... the first brand new car that either of us have ever owned.  We didn't trade the Audi in because they were going to give us practically nothing and it was still worth about $5,000.  Once we posted it on KSL and had people start calling on it, I began to get pretty sad... I love this car.  My lust for this vehicle began when I was thirteen and my  mom and I went to visit her friend Sandi is Sun Valley.  We were cooking dinner and short a few items so Sandie asked me if I wanted to go to the store with her to get the last few items.  I remember getting in her car and thinking to myself, this is the nicest car I have ever seen in my whole entire life!!! It had a sun roof, black leather seats, heated seats and about every bell and whistle you could imagine.  I was in love... plus, it was so incredibly fast!  If you had told me that same day that five short years later... that would be my car, I would have told you that you were crazy... I was never going to own a car that nice in my whole life.  To my surprise, my SUPER amazing parents purchased that very car for graduation.  One small problem, it wasn't an automatic and I had no idea how to drive a clutch.  Luckily, Tanner taught me on his BMW (his first true car love).  Unfortunately, it wasn't the same, it was a super difficult clutch (the hardest I have driven to this day).  Many lessons and tears later, I finally mastered it.  When we got rid of the BMW and got the truck, I couldn't understand why Tanner was sad, the green hornet was well past its prime and we got an awesome truck instead; however, one short week after we listed the Audi and it sold, I was so so sad.  Farewell my friend... and Hello to Tanner's new super fuel efficient beauty the Hyundai Elantra.  We can't come up with a nick name that suits this car yet but we really do like it.
