Way back in 1994, my parents gave me my first car for graduation. It was beautiful, fun to drive, and perfect for me heading off to A&M. It was a 1993 Ford Probe, which I affectionately called Hi Ho Silver. That car hauled me to numerous Aggie football games (including the Sugar Bowl and Alamo Bowl,) I don't know how many Clay Walker concerts and stock shows, countless trips back home, and loaded up all of my belongings on several occasions, but the most notable when I moved to Galveston and attended summer school there the summer after my freshman year. Needless to say, there are many fond memories attached to that car. Fast forward to 2008: my sweet husband has been driving Hi Ho for the past 7 years for work, even without air conditioning! In January, he deservedly got a new car which not only has A/C that works, but it has a sunroof and heated seats! :) So, therefore, the time came to donate Hi Ho, with all her dents, 200,000 miles, and happy memories to someone that really needed a vehicle. So, it was with great sadness and thankfulness that I bid Hi Ho a fond farewell on Thursday. Here are some pictures.
