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.
