The time has come to retire

Well as of yesterday, after 10 years I am no longer a lancer owner. After a great run my 02 lancer oz blew her transmission. Traded her in for a whopping $500 and bought a 2012 elantra.i had a great time with the lancer and miss it so much.

Not really kind of pissed about that I'm averaging 24. Pretty sure I got that in the lancer if not better. I think she had about 120k miles.
