I finally pulled the trigger
Last Tuesday night I went out and pulled the trigger on a 2004 coupe.
I have been looking for some time for just the right car.
I admit that I am one picky son of a gun.
This car was as close as you can get to being new. Not a mark on her.
She was a garage Queen all right. The owner even had special shoes that he wore when he took his baby out for a spin.
She is an Arctic White coupe with both tops, and all the goodies. I looked at this car last fall just as the weather was getting raw. I talked about buying it but didn't pull the trigger back then. He wouldn't let the car out of the garage so we couldn't take it out for a test drive since the weather was bad. I truly understood, so I waited. The winter weather turned my wait into months, but it gave me time to look around and read up on all kinds of things.
Last week I call and said the weather is good, let me take a look. So my buddy and I went over last Sunday and looked her over.
My heart ran wild as we drove it around and looked her all over. I knew she was the one for me.
So, last Monday it was off to see my Insurance Agent and I pulled my money from the bank and on Tuesday night I went over and took my new baby home. My kids went wild as I drove up to the house, as they don't know what we had done.
I have been out every night that the weather has been good here in Syracuse, (NY). We get home from work, change the clothes and it is off for a spin.
Thursday night my buddy and I took the vettes with our ladies and grabbed a bite to eat. Then it was off to the local Car Rally at the Marketplace and enjoyed a couple of hours of relaxation with other car buffs.
Life doesn't get much better then this my friends. By the way I turned "Fifty" yesterday and my new baby just turned 3,400 miles last night after yesterdays ride around the lake. I figure that we can grow old together.
Pictures will follow, once I find the time. Thanks for letting me ramble. It will be tuff working all day knowing that my baby is waiting for me and the sun is shinning so nice.
