Since 2001, I’ve had a Hyundai Tiburon (loved until I saw one crinkled on the highway), Toyota Rav4 (lemon), Nissan Murano (horrible blind spot), Cadillac SRX (liked, but caddies are a little too uppity for me), and my Volvo XC90 (I would marry this car). If you’ll notice I never have gotten the same model or make. Until now. When my lease was nearing an end, I couldn’t think of anything I didn’t like about my car. Nor could I think of a car I’d rather have, well after Drew told me the Bentley was a definite “no” that is. Factor in all of Volvo’s safety innovations—which I clearly need—and it was pretty much a done deal.
After noting that I put less than 10,000 miles on my car in two years, Drew decided to go ahead and buy this one for me. Watch, now I will total the sucker. Anyway, since, I don’t ever test drive a car (another hazard of being a horrid driver) and I don’t really enjoy sitting for hours in the dealership listening to people talking about APR, MPGs and MSRPs (who does?), I let Drew go alone to trade in my car for the newer model.
He came home with this:
Pretty huh? I took the picture in the garage because I needed a dark environment for comparison purposes. Why you ask? Well, because my husband bought me the Volvo XC90 Twilight Edition.
Here we are out on a beautiful sunny day.
What? You can’t see it? Well let me get a little closer then. How about this:
See, my car has little golden flecks that sparkle in the sun, just like Edward Cullen. I knew the man secretly enjoyed watching those movies with me, and now I have hard proof. You are so busted Drew.
NICE!!!! Can we clone Andy?
ReplyDeleteAs long as I can remember, my parents have always driven Volvos too. They've had 3 so far. (My mom totaled one and then the others were just trade-ins.)
ReplyDeleteBut enjoy your spiffy new 'Twilight Edition'. :-)
Mandy, you can certainly try to clone him. What do you need--a hair, some saliva? Just let me know. lol
ReplyDeleteYvonne, I really do love my Volvo. It rides so much smoother than any other make of car I've had. I think it just suits me. So obviously, I think your parents have great taste, but we already knew that didn't we?
