Bumper Sticker Downgrade
So, I decided it was time to downgrade the bumper stickers on my car. Here’s what it looked like before:
Lotsa Stickers
And here it is after:
No Stickers
As you can see, the only way I could get rid of the stickers was to get a new car… 
It’s a 2001 Toyota Corolla LE. It has about 58,000 miles on it. It’s not an extravagant or terribly exciting car by any means, but it’s in much better shape than my old 1994 camry with 210,000+ miles. It also gets much better gas mileage:
2001 Corolla vs 1994 Camry
- City: 30 mpg vs 21 mpg
- Highway: 39 mpg vs 28 mpg
- Combined: 34 mpg vs 23 mpg
That should come in handy considering the constant increase in gas prices.
I’m sad to see the Camry go. We’ve had some good times in that car. Becky and I drove on some of our first dates in the Camry, and it has taken us down to Florida and back, out to Ohio and back, and all around New England. It’s taken me to and from work every single day that I’ve been at CBD … except, of course, on the various occasions it was in the repair shop. Becky’s dad has taken it upon himself to fix up our car and to try and sell it, so hopefully it will be useful to someone in need of a car.
Check out my goodbye Camry album, and some initial photos of the Corolla.
