The Red Flash

This past Monday Michael was in a car accident and totalled his car, the Red Flash (he never named his car, but I have to name it). The people involved were okay, but the cars suffered. He was carless all week and had to hitch rides to work.
Last night when I went swimming he ventured out to go test drive some cars. I got a call from him hours later that he found a car that he wanted to get. He came home with a gray Mazda. It's a cute car with a huge trunk that will be perfect for carrying around baby strollers and such in. I'm am just glad that he wasn't hurt. I am also glad his has a car to drive that has great brakes and a great crash test rating with multiple airbags. Hopefully we'll never need the airbags!
Here are some pictures of the Red Flash and the new car (I haven't thought of a new name yet).
At least Michael was wearing his seat belt!

The Red Flash's nose was crunched in the accident.


This this is the replacement car. RIP Red Flash.

  1. Nice Car! So are you calling this on the Silver Streak. I guess our new van's name would be as Josh called it the RC Willey Van.

  2. Other than the fact that a LOT of damage was assessed, this picture brought me back to how Aunt Dolly used to park in Gma Cora's driveway @ family get togethers. Remember? She used to roll right into other cars...miss her inappropriate commentary and laugh!
