Alas, our lovely 1989 Toyota Corolla, nicknamed "The Blue Beast," turns 20 this year. Let's start from the beginning... my Grandma and Grandpa Stauffer adopted this brand new baby in 1989. It has been lovingly watched over and passed since then from Aunt Richele, to me, and now to David. And for its birthday this year... a new paint job! When I dropped David off to pick The Blue Beast up, my first reaction was that the paint color was exactly the same as before... hmmm... I had been told that it would be dark blue, but actually, if you look closely, it is a little darker than before. Either way, no one feels comfortable changing The Blue Beast into a color other than blue since it was born blue (kind of an ice blue back then) and well, "Blue" is part of its name. So, here is the car in all its glory!

Looking good next to the BEAST! I think every member of the family has driven that car at some point or another...I drove it to school for a while when our cars were in the shop, Preston has driven it temporarily too! It's a fantastic ride! LONG LIVE THE BLUE BEAST!
Each time anyone looks at the picture of this car, you have to put your hand over your heart and pay respect to THE BLUE BEAST.
