Introducing Clara

It's been nearly 2 years since the tragic loss of our beloved 4Runner, Agnes. Finally, we have found something that will replace our loved one, whom Ryan has missed tremendousley. Even though it's only been a week, I think Ryan has already fallen in love. (You have to admit, for a rollover, the 4Runner held up very well. We were proud of our baby for keeping everyone safe!)















And now, introducing our replacement, Clara! She is a 2005 Toyota Tundra. (Yes, we are Toyota fans) I insisted on it being a double cab so we can fit a car seat nicely in the back. We have been searching for just the right truck for 6+ months now and found this one in Bountiful, Utah. We had an interesting time at the dealer and not sure we will ever buy in Utah again, but are happy with the purchase we've made and very glad we're no longer a one car family! It's been interesting sharing a vehicle for the last 2 years! We have enjoyed Clara already, but are trying not to drive it too much because of the aweful price of gas these days.

It looks great! I'm a little suprised that it's not white? Did you give up on finding the perfect truck that was white?

How did you come up with those names? They are a disgrace to the Toyota race! LOL!

Jared said...

It looks nice. Just too bad it's a Toyota and not a GMC!

I am a big fan of Toyota vehicles as well. They'll last you forever if you take care of them. Both cars that I've owned have been Toyotas. Enjoy!!

Lissa, what happened? I missed the whole story of the roll-over. I'm assuming everyone is okay, but what happened? I like the new truck!

Jena said...

Too funny that you name them ;-)

I'm glad you guys finally found a truck. I didn't know you had a roll over two years ago. I had one in high school and I have to say your car held up better then mine did.

Of course we remember you! I'm so glad you found us! Congratulations on the new car! We're Toyota fans as well and I can hardly wait for the day when we become a 2 car family! hehe Also, and more importantly, congrats on an adorable baby girl! She's a cutie!
