Mission car, take 3

Not sure if you've been keeping up with me, but in the 20 months I've been back in Brasil, I've now had 3 different cars.

Take 1: A silver, 4-door Honda Civic. This car was awesome, except the radio was fritzy and the CD player never worked. Stolen a little over a year ago.

Take 2: A white, 4-door Ford Mondeo station wagon imported from Uruguay. As a result of the stolen Honda, we had "Igrejas Batistas" (Baptist churches) put on it -- all sides, and the license plate number on top. Just in case we had to search for it from the air. Somehow (maybe because the car is over 10 years old or maybe because the roads here SUCK), the torsion bar on the back right side got broken, and I can no longer carry heavy loads or people in the backseat.

Take 3: Upon driving up to my building today, what should be sitting in the parking lot but a black Toyota Corolla. Not sure what year it is, but it's at least a little beat up. The letters will be going on it soon. Here's to hoping we won't have any problems with it!
