Today marks the one-year anniversary since I bought Ripley! Twelve months, two trips to Vegas, countless french fry runs and an embarrassing number of car karoake (car-eaoke?) moments later, she's still completely awesome and doesn't look a day over nine months old. Further proof of her greatness: last week I got 480 miles out of one tank! Take THAT, Other Cars!
Just in case you were wondering, this year I have driven over 27,000 miles. Twenty-seven THOUSAND. I know. I KNOW.
(Note: the red velvet cupcake in the photo is from Hotcakes Bakes, a lovely little bakery in Culver City which I have written about here. I took the photo in front of the store, too. I would have lit the candle but the cars were whizzing by and I was certain the flame would have died before it even had a chance.)
Happy birthday Ripley! I love that you bought a cupcake to celebrate :)

Happy birthday, Ripley! I can't believe it's been a year already.

Happy Birthday to your car! I'm not poopooing you or anything, but only that I would like to point out how much I hate driving in LA: my car is 4 years old and I just hit 27,000 miles!

480 miles from just one tank? Awesome! It seems like you and Ripley have been very loyal with each other for a long time. Congratulations and happy anniversary to you both! LOL
