Cars

Here's a post I'd like to dedicate to my brother in law, Daniel. He's the biggest car lover I know. Nathan's a close second. They both grew up with a solid education under the hood. They are both very talented in the mechanical department thanks to their dad, grandpa and uncle. You might have come across Daniel's blog a time or two while looking at mine. If this is the case, you already know he's quite the car buff. Well, here are a few car related experiences I've encountered lately...

Nathan and I are off on Mondays and we usually have lunch with Daniel and their mom and Larry. Monday before last it was just the 3 of us. Daniel was short on time so we decided to meet him for lunch. On our way we ran out of gas. Gosh- when's the last time that happened to me? College, maybe? I didn't even look at the gas warning but I had been out of town all weekend while Nathan had my car. I won't throw him under the bus though. He was working on my car while I was gone serving on the team for our Mother's Day STARS Women's retreat at church. I got back from the retreat on Mother's Day and we went to church and then headed straight over to my mom's for Mother's Day and her birthday. Gas was low but we had enough. Well we had enough until lunch time on Monday. We left the house and started sputtering right when we turned on to 281. We were able to coast into a shopping center where we called Daniel to our rescue. Thanks, Big B!

Here's something I enjoy while out shopping....

We saw this car in Fredericksburg. There were a TON of hot rods. They were all there for the hot rod convention. It's a '48 Chevy.

This car, also a Chevy, was in Fredericksburg at a dealership. It's brand new and made Nathan's head turn! He needs a new car desperately but I think he's got a peculiar extreme attachment to his '85 Fiero. It's a two seater. Hmmmm....2 seater plus new baby don't add up quite right in my head. He's been looking around but I think it will take a small miracle for him to part with it and get something that's more family friendly.
