Feel Good Friday -- Car Lust

this week I helped my father in law with his car.

he's been pretty sick this summer,

which is very unusual. he's 78 and up

until lately has been healthy as the 

proverbial horse.

he lives on his own and is a college professor

and real estate appraiser.

he has a personal trainer.

he is possibly the smartest person I know.

ten years ago, he bought this:

it is his baby.

as a reward he occasionally lets family

members drive it.

it currently has 3421 miles on it.

yes, you read that right.

three thousand four hundred twenty one miles.

I took it to the car dealer last week for him

to get the oil changed, and to have

them check on a sticky trunk latch.

there is nothing quite like driving a 

little black convertible sports car!

I am a different person when I get

to drive this car.

I am cool!

Tuesday I picked it up from the shop, and yesterday 

I took it in for it's annual run through the

emissions testing center.

on my way there, a little 70 year old

lady rolled her window down and said with 

clear adoration, "beautiful car!"

the guy at the testing center asked if

I'd be back later to pick him up, and 

no he wasn't hitting on me!

it's ALL about the car.

this weekend we have to wash the car and 

return it.

is there any nice way to ask, beg, plead for my

father in law to leave that car to me in his will?
