On March 12, 2008 we said good bye to Gladys. For those of you who don't know Gladys was my car...she is a 1999 Ford Escort. She was "basically" my first car (technically I bought another car before but it was kind of a scam so we sold it back to him after a few weeks). Her name came from a funny experience at the movies. Bianca and I went to see The Notebook at the theaters and it was the beginning of the movie where it is quiet beautiful music and as it is starting there are 2 old ladies walking down the hall in the theater and they are talking really LOUDLY saying "did you see the Spiderman movie?" etc. and going off about other movies, then...they get into the seating area and they started walking in opposite directions...then one starts saying in s yell trying to be a whisper, "Gladys, where are you? Gladys, my eyes haven't adjusted yet." It was HILARIOUS! Bianca ended up helping them find each other. So, that is the story of how she got her name. What makes me laugh is that all my close friends and family have always called my car Gladys.
So the reason why we sold her is because Craig needs a work truck for our business and there is no need for us to have 3 cars...therefore we needed to say good bye to Gladys. The good news is that we found her a really good Mormon family! What is funny is that since my car had a name it was kind of sad to sell her.
While we were sighing over the pink slip Craig told them about the car's name so...who knows they may keep her name. She was a really great car and she will be missed!

Okay, I am depressed after reading that! funny that it is a car! But it is sad! I didn't know HOW she got her name, that story is HIARIOUS!
You're so funny. You talk about her like she's your child or something. As sad as it is, be glad you were able to sell it. I've been trying to sell my beamer for awhile now but it's not selling too well. Darn Recession. I LOVE my beamer but we need a bigger car. One that doesn't kill our backs putting Mallory in and of the backseat! Anyway, I'm sorry for your loss... But I think she'll like her new home! =P
fun to hear how you came up with gladys. i think it's funny how a car seems to take on a personality after you name it...it cracks me up. you'll have to name your vibe now!
