Default Im So Happy!!!!!!!!!!!



I got my car back from the body shop after my neigbhor had backeed into it. I only had the car for 4 months and have been without it for a full MONTH ( ETERNITY) as the first time I wasnt satisfied with the paint.

I had to drive home in San Jose traffic at 5:30pm....needless to say I dont think I have been so paranoid in my life....I felt like a junkie with a swiveling head .......... lookin over my shoulder for cops. Only I was looking for potential enemies of my baby........

Sure enough I had someone almost merge into me .....Some one in a ford festive not paying attention ( cell phone)

Also saw a red C6 on the road..............

Think Im gonna go look in my garage and admire my girl again...Im so happy

A month is a long time to be without the car. Congrats on getting back on the road again.
