Gus has reached 100,000 miles.
The best parking space I ever got in college
Gus is my car, my first car, my beautiful little green Civic. He's actually William & Mary colored, although that's not why I chose him. I bought him during winter break of my sophomore year of college. In addition to plain and simple wanting a car, I also wanted to be able to help drive for the various extracurricular activities I was involved with, but that was just the beginning. Gus drove us to Wilmington, DE during spring break junior year for a week of mission work. He drove us to Florida for spring break senior year. He drove me to my first job interview and my first apartment. He made countless drives between Falls Church and Williamsburg during the six months of engagement so that Hubby T and I could plan our wedding. Then he was my constant companion when we moved for Hubby T to go to grad school and I had to drive 30 miles each way to my job everyday. Gus' status as my fifth limb was secured the next year when we moved to be closer to Hubby T's job and I had to drive 60 miles each way to my job everyday. We logged a lot of miles together old friend.

Now Hubby T drives Gus everyday, because the CR-V we bought is safer for Baby B. Every time I get in Gus though, to go out for a girl's night or baby-free grocery shopping trip, I feel nostalgically at home. A piece of my heart will always belong to Gus and I can't wait to see what life will bring us in his next 100,000 miles:)
