The photo below is of my new car and old car side by side. My new car, on the right, is a Lexus IS 250. It is beautiful and so much fun to drive! I love everything about it and I'm looking forward to driving it on its first road trip to Savannah next week to attend Jackie's graduation. I was inspired by Jackie's Jetta--I liked many of its features like heated seats and comfortable back seat area. Julia says that she is getting new car fever. Like Rick always says, "There's nothing like a new car!"
This Old Car... is my Pontiac Trans-Sport that Rick and I ordered 17 years ago and got it just the way we wanted it. It even has the original CD player in it--I think I was one of the first to have a factory CD player in my car. I've been driving this same mini-van for 17 years! It's been a great car! When we first got this car Julia was in 2nd grade and Jackie was in Kindergarten. Julia graduated from college 2 years ago and Jackie is graduating from college this year. So, this car knows alot about our family and would have a lot of stories to tell if asked. It carpooled our daughters and neighborhood kids to and from school for many years. It took us on many vacations from family reunions to beach trips as far North as Canada and as far South as Florida. It's taken us East to the Atlantic Ocean and as far West as Texas. It's been to small towns, like Shelby, Ohio and large cities like New York City. This photo was taken last week, so you can see that it still looks great--Rick has taken very good care of it--he's an engineer and he loves cars--all of our cars always look great because Rick takes such good care of them!

I can really relate to keeping cars. I sold my '85 Camaro in 2004 after 19 wonderful years together. Now I have the minivan. lol
Use the new car in great health!
