So I am doing a Jeff and posting to my own post.
So after taking stock of the important stuff, I reverted back to the chick that I am an
started thinking things like “This car smells like vanilla. Yuck.” I started dreaming of shopping—what could I buy to put on the car—maybe chrome exhaust tip. Definitely will get one of those kits from Whit’s boss to reinforce the door before the hinge goes through the door wall.
Then started fantasizing of sending my boss a rub-it-in email about how great the car is. He really gave me a hard time about buying this car. His attitude was “I wouldn’t drive 6 blocks to buy a used car. You know I think you are nuts.”
Took the car to the beach. She has been a NYC car most of her life. And she has spent a lot of time in garages. I want her to be a free-range BMW. Here she is getting a whiff of ocean air. The thing in the background is the prototype of a fleet of concrete ships our military had plans to build. It was not one our country’s stellar moments in defense technology.
