!!Adios Fiesta!!

Well, the Movement has come to an end. Lauren and I are departing for L.A. in about an hour (3AM, YAHOO) for the conclusion of the Fiesta Movement. We're both packed and ready to go so that's good. In addition to helping unveil the North American version of the Fiesta, Lauren and I will be attending some sort of awards ceremony. I'm sure the only prize we're going to walk away with is most hated agents. On the brighter side, cross your fingers for us winning a Fiesta for keeps. That's right, Ford is giving away 3 more brand new Fiestas next summer to be ours forever and ever. (Hopefully since LL and I are both going, we get 2 chances, LOL.)

Lauren and I turned Margarita keyfobs over to Barber Ford last Friday with a total mileage reading 19,459. While Lauren and Chris will make fun of me endlessly for writing a Fiesta related blog post, I'm going to do it anyway.

Charlie @ Barber did a quick damage inspection of Margarita before letting us leave. Aside from some curb rash and a rather prominent black scratch on the hood, Margarita made it through nearly 20,000 of service without one mechanical glitch. For 3 young socialites who have collectively killed 3 cars in only a few years of driving, I have to hand it to Ford for building a tough little car that took a beating. (I suppose "tough" doesn't accurately described a lime green supermini with white polka dots).

Margarita also popped each of our manual-transmission cherries. Sorry for those first few weeks, Margarita, as the ride must have been as rough for you as it was for our passengers.

Most Common Thing Said In Margarita
COME ON, FIESTA!! (while merging)

Hopefully, LL and I will get some pictures in LA to share with everyone and with a bit of luck, we'll both be driving new 2011 Ford Fiestas next year!

Finally, here's some of my favorite pictures from our adventure:

Latest Mission

So this past Saturday, team weGOTyourCRAZY visited KidsPeace for their August mission. Social activism was this month's theme so we volunteered at the organization's 12th annual soccer tournament. Margarita was parked out in front of Soccer Central while Chris, Lauren, and Brian worked the merchandise booth for a few hours. It was an all-together pleasant afternoon as the bad weather held off until after the games had finished for the day.

Aside from not winning anything from the raffle, team weGOTyourCRAZY had a very nice volunteering experience. It was great to learn about all the great work that KidsPeace is doing in the Allentown area and at its other locations.

Sorry for the short post but Lauren and I are in the midst of moving back to school this week as classes resume at Lafayette next Monday.

Meanwhile, Margarita carried Chris back to Rochester this afternoon but they'll both be back to visit next week.

Out for now,
-Dorothy

Life Lessons from the Brothas

My life at Lafayette drastically changed when I penetrated (haha!) the inner circle I like to call the Brothas. They are affectionately called the brothas, which derives from the club BOL, the Brothers of Lafayette. My time with them has taught me many life lessons:

1. once you meet one, you meet them all
2. your boyfriend/their girlfriend does not matter
3. you can always blame it on the alcohol
4. it's true. they're big
5. they're not embarrassed to knock on your door for condoms. the ones you give them will be too small and one is never enough
6. you can fit 5 of them and 2 girls in a geo prizm. no lie.
7. do not take them to phi psi. they will try to beat up the nerd at the door and punch him in his "good eye"
8. they will spontaneously whip it out. maybe because of #4...
9. if you are hooking up with one, they all know
10. they will all still try to hook up with you anyway
11. they be vibin
12. they can all be underage, and still all get into the bar
13. "gettin raped" has nothing to do with sex
14. by the end of the year, none of them will have keys or a checkpoint to the building
15. i will have to be the one to let them in the building
16. they apparently cannot get keys because they are busy playing football?
17. what goes good with eggs?? bacon!
18. foreplay is unnecessary
19. neither is kissing
20. it's safer to have sex with someone using a condom than kiss them. would you let a stranger spit in your mouth?
21. they are all single, but have their "girls" at home
22. 3 is not a crowd
23. the "what u doin" text at 4 a.m. is not uncommon
24. they all have your number somehow
25. i love them

Where We've Been & What We've Been Doing

Hey again everybody,

It’s Dorothy checking in this time around. Sorry that it’s been so long since team weGOTyourCRAZY has blogged. We’ve all been very busy this summer with work and weekend adventures. Here’s a quick summary of the past two months:

-Margarita finished her time in Rochester with Chris and brought him to the humble home of Miss Betsie (Miss Betsie is Lauren’s much-loved mother). Mission video #2 was filmed in Whitehall, PA where team weGOTyourCRAZY used the clues Margarita had left behind to track her down.

-Then it was DJ Double L’s turn with Margarita. Lauren drove the Fiesta to the Jersey shore on one weekend, used her for an impromptu late night run to Philadelphia, and ferried herself to and from work whilst gathering plenty of attention for her “unique” driving style and killer $5 sunglasses.

-After a month in Whitehall, Margarita came to stay with me. I picked her up from Lauren on a Thursday night and then drove her to Baltimore the next day to celebrate my Uncle’s retirement after 20 years with the United States Navy. His daughter and her friends were enthralled with Margarita and had a good time on the trip back from the picnic.

-The next week, I entered her in a car show where she earned no prizes but tons of attention. Over 150 people must have tested her seat comfort firsthand and pushed her buttons. (It should be noted that Margarita was scrubbed clean before the car show; the exact ingredients of the crust that had formed on the bottom of one cupholder are still unknown…)

-After the car show, Chris and Lauren came to visit and film Mission video #3. This month’s mission was just a slideshow of pictures so it left us plenty of time to embrace our crazy. Despite having a good time with Pinkie in tow, Chris vowed once again to never return to Pennsylvania (He did the same thing the day he graduated and has since been back ”down south” twice.)

-The following weekend, I picked up Lauren and Pinkie with the Fiesta and we headed down to the CRAZY’s beach house in Ocean City, New Jersey. People were stopping to snap pictures of the Fiesta with the camera phones so I’m sure we earned some PR points in that over-populated area.

-I left Margarita with Lauren in Whitehall on Sunday’s rainy return drive from the beach so she could use Margarita to haul herself and four of her friends to Lil’ Wayne’s concert at Montage Mountain. They had some great times including one drunk person’s pointing out that our Fiesta had exactly 42 dots on its side (There are actually over 100 dots… he must have had an even better time than Lauren and her accomplices.)

- Later that week, Margarita had to come back to visit me because she needed to go in for her first service. An oil change, tire rotation, and plenty of stares from people completed her visit to Barber Ford. The CRAZY and I picked her up Friday night from the dealer, who had parked Margarita right out front, and we headed to the French Manor, a secluded Bed & Breakfast in eastern PA where all three of us spent a relaxing weekend.

So here we are, 3 months into our adventure with a bunch of pictures and even more new friends. Our little Fiesta has amassed over 10,000 miles and we’re not letting up anytime soon. Team weGOTyourCRAZY doesn’t really like planning things out too far in ahead so who knows what this weekend will bring. Margarita should be heading back to Rochester shortly to visit Chris and family and there’s also been talk of Lauren’s Abulita getting a ride at a family reunion. So keep checking in and watch your review mirrors for a little snot-colored car with three cackling fools inside.
