I really can't tell you what people are going to think. I'm sure they are going to think Hubby and I have lost it altogether. But then I've always said that age is just a state of mind. I always hope that my mind is considered young.... even though some days I feel like I'm positively ancient.
Hubby and I have decided that in the process of financing the renovations that we should finance a new vehicle as well. It is part of staying young.... buying a new vehicle ... and of course the vehicle that we have chosen to buy... will add to the fun of life quite a bit.
Now sit down because when I tell you the kind of car that we are buying you will laugh your guts out. We are buying a Firefly convertible!
Ok so those of you who know us will know too that this was the first car that we ever bought after we were married. We drove around in 1992 - 1994 a firefly convertible and drove it across Canada twice. It is a delicate thing telling people that they are too old for such vices but better that than become an aging alcoholic who makes a fool of themselves at events. (I've known a few of them!)
I want to use the car as a promotional vehicle for my business.... I want to paint Ye Olde Batt on the side of the car so that I can call it my Batt mobile. Hee hee!
It is white with a black vinyl roof (that doesn't work and will need replacing). But otherwise for an ancient car it is in great shape. I expect that Hubby and I will have to get the engine rebuilt at some point but hopefully not for a while. We both have to renew our know how on a standard because neither one of us has the proficiency to drive standard.
But either way the Batt mobile is in our future and we will just have to let every one know that old fogies like to have fun too!
