Getting new tires at Discount Tire in City of Richland!

Mom and Dad keep talking about a Christmas vacation and how I am going to put my tires to good use going over Snoqualmie pass. Hopefully there won't be much snow!

Apparently some people have thought it would be funny to steal my cousins from their families. I have decided that enough is enough. Here are some links for my cousins to help defend themselves. Note to their families, please take your stuff and park my cousins in a garage if it all possible.

Thank you!

Hyundai and Kia thefts and attempted thefts continue to remain high in the Tri-Cities. Many of our Kia and Hyundai owners have reached out to their dealership for the anti-theft software upgrades, but we are still taking auto theft reports for owners who have not taken advantage of these free updates. Some who have installed the updates are still finding themselves victims of attempted thefts. Those who have upgraded their software may want to consider using a steering wheel lock as a visual deterrent. A few other theft prevention tips include - keep your car locked, do not leave any valuables in your vehicle, never leave your car running unattended, park in well-lit areas, and never store your title in your car. To see if your vehicle qualifies for an upgrade follow these links:

I am just a little car so I am super careful about getting my tires wet.

Never take the chance and drive or walk through a flooded area. It only takes a little bit of water to carry a vehicle away. Turn around and don't drown.

Picked up our meals for next week! So great to know there is a fantastic local place that can take care of all your prep and assemble delicious tasting easy to cook meals for your family! Less time prepping and cleaning and more time enjoying each others company! Thank you Melissa!

She even said she can lend us some freezer space for our big raceway event! 🥹

What should I call writing down my life story since the day I was assembled at the factory until now?

Maybe an Autobiography?

Please help keep me and other cars out of the bodyshop! Speaking from personal experience it's no fun and so scary. Please drive safe everyone!

This is not how you tow a boat. Even I know that you don't find hitches in the trunk. 🙄

Introducing the Paul the Robotic Pump. I wonder how long it will take for something like this to come to a gas station near me.

Your car would like you to review this list carefully.

Snow! You might be the best driver you know, but when it comes to snow, all bets are off. Make sure your car is stocked before you travel, folks. Find more about emergency kits at Mil.wa.gov/kits

So I wasn't the wisest choice but I am still thankful that Daniel and Stephanie chose me. ♥

Six days after we finished paying off $18,000 in student loans.... we financed a 2013 Honda Fit for $18,000. Yep. It took us 7 years to pay off the first $18,000 (plus $3,400 for that Ford Ta**us), and then we went right back into debt.

I believe that we rushed into this car purchase, and didn't take time to consider our needs (a smaller, more fuel efficient car) versus our wants (newer car). If we had, we might have ended up with something a little older, but kept the size & fuel efficiency. The Honda was 2 years old at the time, so not brand new, but not "older" either.

But I have a piece of good news! It took us just 22 months to pay off the $18,000 for our Honda Fit named Hoshi! It helped that by the time we financed our Honda, my piano studio was booming. I had upwards of 25-30 students a week, and most of that money was going directly to paying off our car loan as quickly as we could. While we weren't bringing in an equal amount of money, what I was bringing in allowed us to live on my husband's salary and throw mine at debt, so every little bit of extra income helps!
