Default Lauren Is 31 Today

My beloved Lauren turned 31 today. She was born in Bowling Green on Friday, November 16th, 1984.

My wife Ivelis and I woke up together at 5:30 AM. While she headed off to spin, I did not do my usual early morning run. Rather, I showered, dressed, and took Lauren out for a short drive on this cold but clear November morning. We stopped at McDonald's, where I ordered that most eighties of all breakfast meals—an Egg McMuffin. Afterwards, I took her back home the long way.

Below is a picture of Lauren under the fluorescent lights at McDonald's at about 6:30 AM this morning.

It's actually not quite as bad as it looks—the parking layout is a weird one there, with a strange entry point.

Happy Birthday Lauren. I wish her and you 31 more, just as happy. I'm close by in Central NJ, maybe we will cross paths someday. My 86 turns 30 on 11/21. I'm as excited as if it were my own birthday.

Everyone knows you always park a Vette by backing in.

Happy Buildday Lauren.

Wow, I read your post to my husband because he thinks I am nuts for calling mine "Sweetie". He wants to know what is it with you corvette people.. You are all nuts.... Hey, I think it's special to like and take care of your Lauren and my Sweetie... Sometimes I think they just don't understand, they just don't understand....

Everybody who saw the car would always comment on the color and say "that's very eighties", so when the time came to get a vanity plate, the choice seemed obvious. We did also consider 1ST TPI.

My wife and I name all our cars (see sig). Lauren's name actually took longer to decide on than most—maybe a year (my wife had the 2012 named before we even picked him up). Lauren is named after Lauren Hutton—a classy eighties model with a gap tooth. I think it applies ...

I graduated High School in 85, so that's always a special year for me. Congrats!

Each year I read your post and think "I gotta find out when mine was born" ... maybe this weekend I'll dig out the build sheet
