Taken by Mike, just after sunset.

Starting the engine, playing with the CD player.


Not playing favorites, just playing melisser's b-day mix CD.


Taking Nitro for a spin. That is so not a fake smile on my face. Just ask pieboy

Oh my god. She is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! I don't often get excited about cars, but this one...

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

she caught my breath when we pulled up at the seller's house last night because i'd just forgotten how lovely she is.

also, i don't like to give my cars genders (or names, really), but this one is definitely a SHE.

OooO breathtaking!

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

come down from Canadia! you too can take a ride!!!

[travellight.livejournal.com]

Riding along in my automobile....

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

the number of car songs that i've had running through my head these last few weeks, and that one remains in the top 3.

this morning, the alarm woke me with Mick Jaggar and "Start Me Up"... and i said, yes please!

yowza

I'm so not a fan of cars but I have to admit that that is one sweet car.

And you, my dear, look fabulous and all glowy. Congrats!

i'm cynically amused that we now each have our own "dream"ish vehicles (Mike's MC would be more of a dream if it, say, ran reliably...).

you are allowed to shed your hippie hate of cars for two seconds. i'll even take you for a scoot around the block, babe!

also, south philly drinks and food sometime soon?

[jackiemania.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous!!!! I am so happy for you! Enjoy :)

Jackie.

THANKS!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! She is beautiful! SO. AWESOME!! I particularly like the BFB pic, two of my favorite things. :) Flea is right, you are glowing and you look gorgeous in these pics.

I'm still trying to work out my schedule -- weekends are bad for the next four weekends (multiple family visits and travel all crammed together) so I'd have to do a weekday, but work is insane right now. Maybe I could just drive up for an hour next week after work to say hello to the newest member of your family.

Also, I need to figure out how to do that scarf thing on my head when I'm driving with the top down.

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

1. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE back at you. I'm extremely sore today after doing a full-body clench for the hour or so before getting the car. Mike said he wished for a video camera just to capture my inability to sit still.

2. There's always September! I don't plan on giving her away anytime soon, so we've got lots of caravanning in our future!

3. The scarf thing is easy-peasy, and I'll show you!

[abinka.livejournal.com]

That shit is INCREDIBLY HOT. Wow.

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

i KNOW.

come bring your bad self and that LAMP for a ride, chick!

[abinka.livejournal.com]

I would have to go alone, I wouldn't want Lamp to get jealous. :)

[cubicalgirl.livejournal.com]

That car is hott and so are you!

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

i wouldn't say i'm hott som much as i'm insanely giddy and overcome with joy.

the car, though, she's a fox.

[bluewillowtree.livejournal.com]

Wow, the car is so gorgeous! Congratulastions!

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

when y'all have a housewarming party, i'll drive her up for oogling!

[bluewillowtree.livejournal.com]

Excellent!!

[bluewillowtree.livejournal.com]

um, congratulations! apparently i don't type so well in the mornings.

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

i knew what you meant, buttercup. :-P

yay!

[tawdryjones.livejournal.com]

Woah! Beautiful baby you got there, skinny!

Re: yay!

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

come up and see her sometime, Teej!

[laurushka.livejournal.com]

What did you name her?????

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

I'm not much of one to name cars... I'm not, also, one to assign a gender to my cars, either. but this one is definitely a she. as for a name, i'm not putting too much thought into it. she'll end up like the cat being called by CAT instead of his name, Chico...

[boogie-babe.livejournal.com]

NICE CAR!!!!

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

THANKS!!!!!!!!!

[savannahchik.livejournal.com]

omg omg omg you got her! she's gorgeous. the paint looks amazing in that last pic. i can't wait to see it in person!

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

i can't wait to drive her to all my friends' places!!!!!!!!

i just am completely beside myself with utter joy.

[savannahchik.livejournal.com]

i'm so happy for you! it's awesome. we have to find time to get together over the next few weekends!

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

YES YES YES YES! because when i'm not driving, i need me some Gilmore Girls. :-P

[savannahchik.livejournal.com]

you have 1 and 2, right? since it's summertime i've been watching them and i just finished 4 this weekend so you could take 3 and 4, and then 5 when you're ready.

btw, i'm taking off next friday (i need the day off so bad!) and am going to hit rosie's and loop. stash knitting be damned! any chance you're free?

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

.....hmmm, next friday... that's hard to say. we've got a funeral to go to in the next week and i get funeral leave, but it's all a matter of what's when and all.

i'd love to meet up, though, so if i can work it out, i'll let you know!

[savannahchik.livejournal.com]

oh no :( well, if we can do it, great. if not, another time soon.

[junebug613.livejournal.com]

OMG!! OMG!!! Congratulations!!! She is absolutely beautiful! You two look made for each other!!! I'm so happy for you!!! YAY!!

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

next time you're up north, you'll definitely get to go for a spin in her!!!

[junebug613.livejournal.com]

Fabulous!! I can't wait! Squeee!!

[melisser.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHIT, that's a gorgeous car. Absolutely perfect color, too.

You look so happy! :)

and I'm totally flattered that you have my dinky little birthday mix in your beautiful car. *sigh*

I'll be getting my pickup truck in a few weeks and we can do some Mt. Airy/Chestnut Hill street racing. The neighbors will love us!

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

HA! watch out--me and my 1600cc engine might just make it to 25 mph by the end of the street.

i AM so happy. in all those years of wanting, i never thought i'd actually get to have one.

[rockininthenude.livejournal.com]

Wow! fuckin' awesome! this post didn't show up on my friends list. I was tellin' L that I was disappointed that I didn't get to see any photo's, thankfully she told me that you posted some otherwise i never would have looked. I soo wanna ride.

Oh, yeah, I never responded to your question about coming for a visit in Jan. I might be going some where sometime in Jan., I'm not sure when or if it will actually happen , but it's a long month so in general yes Jan is a good time. And I'll have off from school.

[squirrella.livejournal.com]

weren't you guys just in town? we could have totally gone for a cruise!!!!

i'll keep January in mind. OH January with your chilly temperatures!!!!!
