How Was Your Date? You're A Giant Toddler.

Okay, back on Saturday I ended my post with the fact that I felt like doing something. And did we ever do something. We decided to go to the coast, but really really didn't want to take either of our cars (definitely a good choice with regards to what happened yesterday with Ethel). Collin had the insanely awesome idea of just renting a car for the day. We started calling rental places in Salem and even went to Avis, but no one had any cars in. Our plan was looking like it was gonna die before it could ever get off the ground. We had given up all hope when I decided we should call the last ad in the Yellowpages that we hadn't tried (which happened to be Withnell Car Rentals), we called them and they had three cars to choose from. Choice numero uno: a PT Cruiser $48 for the day, numero dos: a Dodge Durango $79 for the day, and option numero tres: a Dodge Charger $60 for the day... Most know I love cars, and a 1969 Dodge Charger is my dream car to have, and I also like the new Chargers. I am sure you can infer from this which car I chose. And if you can't here's a picture:
I loved driving this car!!!! It was a 2007 Dodge Charger SXT. I want one so bad I could cry. I didn't want to take it back on Sunday. It was such a smooth ride. There were a couple times where I looked down at the speedometer to find I was doing around 80 MPH! It didn't even feel like it was going that fast.

We went over to the coast and went around the Three Capes Scenic Route, which includes Cape Kiwanda, Cape Lookout, and Cape Meares. We skipped Cape Kiwanda because there were so many effing tourists. We went to Cape Lookout and walked around and took some awesome pictures. Here's a couple:
Then we went up to Cape Meares, and saw the Octopus Tree.
Then we got back on highway 101 and headed south. We really had no clue where we were headed. After we passed Depoe Bay we pulled over into the little state park just north of Cape Foulweather (I think it's called Rocky Creek State Park...) and took some more pictures and figured out where to go from there. These are a couple of my favorite pictures:
I call this one the "Holy Seagull".
We then went to Safeway in Newport and then went back north to swing by my dad's and show him and my sister the car. On our way through Lincoln City the sun was starting to set and I took this amazing picture.

(that blogger isn't letting me upload so you will have to go check it out on myspace, I'll caption it awesome pic I wanted on my blog)

There are a ton of other pictures on my Myspace page, so check them out.

It was an awesomely unforgettable day. It definitely one of the top ten of my all time best days.

Now I am going to check my email and see if anyone has responded to the ad about Ethel.
